I am truly flabbergasted (amazed, astounded utterly, and in awe) at where this project has and will continue to take me. The notecard can be a bit hard, but if you are really researching books, articles, and dissertations (as I have), the notecards can gratify you with much information and wisdom. I can only imagine that after you have finished one-hundred-and-thirty notecards, you become an expert at the subject.
At first, I was very afraid to start this project, as so many of the students’ felt, but I now embrace and look forward to finishing it. Some students are right on target, but to the ones who are not, don’t give up — ask for help and stay the course. You will succeed! Some teachers are excited for me and have offered articles and books to help me along this journey. I appreciate each of them. As I said to you, I too must “Stay the course.”
Peace,
Yvette
You will emerge. The drowning that you feel is an intellectual bath that will cleanse the soul in preparation for transcendence.
