A Confession

I am functioning slightly beyond my learning edge, as Sonja would have put it. I have found myself making excuses for my mistakes, which is behavior I have always associated with people being over their heads (actually, I have associated it with people who shouldn't be where they are, but being in a position of actually doing it, I find myself being a little more kind). It hurts to think that the reality of this situation is that I'm not ready for doctoral work in this field, and likely never will be.

I guess it's good to know your limits.

What would Dweck say?
