While sitting in my research class, overhearing conversations, listening to questions and surfing the web, I was thinking how much I enjoyed the class compared to my horror the first day.  I actually thought to myself..."This is not that bad.  Why was I so scared of a dissertation?"  As I marched happily along through lunch with friends, the tone of my day hit a dramatic 360 degree curve.  You want me to do what?  A 20-30 page lit review...by when?  I returned to my nauseous felling from the first day.  I have been through National Boards, and thought then that I would never be able to write what was required.  I know I can do this (I think!).  However, I have so many lengthy assignments due right now that I am beginning to wonder was I completely insane to take this many courses and try to do my job.  Calgon..."Take me away!"
