Feedback thoughts and self reflection

"You've got the skills, but it's unorganized and sloppy"

While I wouldn't have thought this would be feedback that I would find comforting and inspiring, hearing it this morning made me feel a lot better about the whole grad school thing. The truth is that I DO have the skills, as long as I can learn to collect my knowledge, solidify it, and learn to use it efficiently. It's not because I'm dumb, which is something that I can't change, it's because I"m unorganized, which is something I can!

So the point here is that grad school is a learning experience. We don't do it because it's easy, we do it because it's hard and it challenges us to think better, work more efficiently, and take ourselves from potential to professional.
