As far as news, the Dalai Lama renounced his political leadership position, which will have all kinds of implications in Dharamsala. I am interested to learn more about it since it is relatively new news. This week was also a big one for being a field facilitator. I emailed the housing coordinator and am waiting to hear back, but it just makes it so much more real making that first step. Today we are doing a safety training at 3, which is something I have been thinking about for awhile. Aside from having a rouge student, having to deal with a natural disaster, etc is one of the biggest fears about being a facilitator. Stay tuned for more on that.
And on top of all of this, IRB and course contracts were supposed to be due. I am still struggling to find someone to oversee my creative nonfiction contract. It is stressful because in many ways I feel like this will be the most important part of my project. I want it to be good, but what happens if I do not find anyone to work with me?
Yeah. And IRB. You know me, I NEVER turn in assignments late and getting behind in a class is unheard of. Yet, I have not managed to turn in my IRB. I got good feedback on it in our group mock IRB boards, but now it is just a matter of editing it, getting the beast signed, and turning it in. What is wrong with me? Am I just not recovered from the Inquiry Conference? Is it because I am not sleeping? Because I am stressed out about personal issues? Why can't I get myself focused? I am going to India in less than 2 months for crying out loud!
Any advice? That ended on a strange note... but really. I'm kind of struggling, and now is not the best time for it.
