So, the most disturbing part for me about the M.A. I am starting is not the pressure to write, to create new ideas and to share them, but it's this: 
having to start a blog where you share your process- your thoughts and feelings about the course and the work you are doing.

​I don't want to FEEL my feelings, let alone share them with anybody else! I would rather research Quantum Physics than fall down the rabbit hole of posting about my FEELINGS... but maybe the point is to address our fears and move through them rather than squash them, sit on them like a lumpy cushion and never quite feel comfortable? Hmmm... possibly I received a memo to that effect.

Let me see...

Ah, there it is- just... under... my... bottom. 
And it says- "stop sitting on your feelings and just get on with it".

Humph!
Well, that's me told, then. Expect tears, anxiety and fears explored, unravelled and described and stuck on my timeline until the world ends because delete no longer really deletes, does it?

(Well, all that and cute animal pictures to soften the blow...)
