A nice member of the department I’m applying to has offered to critique my draft so I’ve sent it off to her and am now simultaneously bouncing with excitement and absolutely terrified she’s going to say it’s a load of nonsense.
I’ve always wanted to do one but assumed I wasn’t clever enough and that it wouldn’t really be possible until I was retired. Then I saw this one advertised and it was perfect and I just thought...fuck it! My friends are telling me my imposter syndrome is just that and I’ve just as much chance of getting it as anyone else, but they would say that, wouldn’t they, because they’re my friends 😉
I don’t think I’m going to get it or even get an interview but I’m so glad I’m applying. It feels like a completely selfish but empowering move.
There’s zero point to this thread. Just needed a space to wobble in 😆
