conference

I attended the Winter Roundtable at Columbia today and yesterday. It was about racism...very thought provoking and inspirational. The highlight of the conference was Jane Elliott's speech (she did the famous "Brown eyes Blue eyes experiment" with elementary school children, which I didn't know about until this conference). She is such a powerful woman--very passionate! I'm so glad I attended the conference even though I've been sick and tired.

been feeling bit disappointed with myself lately. Ph.D. admission interview with Dr. Steele on Friday didn't go as well as I wanted. and I'm starting to realize that my interests (academic) need to be more specific and narrowed down.

Maybe I'm not mature, smart, and emotionally-stable enough to be a clinical student. I don't think I'm fit to be a clinical psychologist. :-(
