I feel like 90% of "ancient curses" are probably adequately explained by the fact that the self-proclaimed adventurers who ostensibly fell victim to them were, as a class, a bunch of dipshits who engaged in frequent international travel in an era before antibiotics and vaccines. Like, the list of novel pathogens these guys were risking exposure to on a regular basis was effectively "all of them". That's gotta leave a mark.

Me, struggling to write one of my take-home exams in the wake of a months long episode of exhaustion: maybe I'm not cut out for this after all. Maybe I truly am an impostor and don't belong here...
The professor responsible for our current course and the take-home exam's course: *praises my comprehension, analysis and reasoning skills*; *explicitly states that she thinks that i belong in this field*; asks me in bypassing about my plans after getting my degree*
Me: "I hear you, and I wish i could stay in academia after my degree, but I'm not sure I'll have the abilities nor social network to make it... So, I'll aim for a job in the public or governmental sector instead" (and I'm fine with that. I am. I'm gonna get to help people. I'll do good and be happy with such a job. Even tho staying in academia would be the Dream.)
My teacher: *spends the rest of the conversation trying to make me reconsider*; *looks at me in consideration as an elevator's about to close between us* "I'm telling you. You're going places."
Me:
Me:
Me: okay, one day.
Me: One day of rest, recovery, and rotting. Then I'll do that take-home exam and make her proud
#Personal talk#i may be frozen in procrastination because of self-doubt and thus unable to do this work for myself#well. so what?#if i can't do it for Me then i can at least do it for my professor#and my other professors that have acknowledged and praised me#and the student guidance councillor that's been by my side since day 1#and all the other people rooting for me#if i'm too far in the shadows right now to see my own Worth then I'll just borrow some motivation and inspiration from those that DO see it!#study life#academic daily life#sidenote tho: how Dare she say “you're going places” when i haven't even finished year 1? 🥺🥺🥺 unfair. I'm beyond flustered & happy#anthropology student
