Thought you got rid of me when I finished my PhD?
no such luck. Now I'm applying for a post-doctoral training program.
Will they accept me. (angst)
Is it too late for enrollment in part time classes as non-program student this fall (agitation)
Why isn't admissions office returning my calls (rejection)
And some CBT work
Angst- if they don't accept me they are making a big mistake. I've done the hardest work in my life. I'm a very dedicated student and I have good transcripts from a reputable Uni and College.Agitation- They are swamped with the start of the next semester. They already talked to me once last week, and if things weren't in order, I would have been getting e-mails everytime I sent them an official transcript. If they don't accept me this semester, I will just use the opportunity to do some reading, writing, and coffeemaking to earn money. Agitation can be counteracted by action. I will go to the library and get some subject books on the topic of my training program and get a head start. nerdy précis of all relevant articles. Learning the names of folks in my (new) field
Rejection- they are idiots to reject me. I've never been rejected from an academic program except when I applied to college with my lame highschool GPA. If I can make it into 6/6 grad schools, I can make it into this program. I read the list of qualifications of accepted applicants for this position and I think I'm acceptance material.
Ugh this CBT stuff is so hard. try writing nice stuff about yourself. I DARE you...
I don't deal well with these feelings. Makes my head hurt, my stomach more acidic, and my moods swingy.
yawn

Here I am, in the lounge of the training program place. There are all these people who know each other. I can't tell faculty from student and I don't know anybody :( I wish I were taking more than one class, because then I'd get to know people better.
They have free coffee here, but It will be yucky and half-burned, compared to the coffeeshop that I am newly employed at.
talk about feeling like a leper. sore thumb. social fear (but not phobia)
ciao lady,

I talked to some people during class break and they seemed really nice and sweet. I'm not a leper, and I've come a long way from being as shy as I used to be.
until next week... hmmm...
