You never really know

It turns out that you never really know. You don't know what are the good news and what are the bad news. I was in Austin, next week I will be in NY, then Madrid, Barcelona, Pamplona. People in my program will be proposing ( a key step in the PhD) and I won't. Not clear what that means. It might mean I have no financing next year. It might mean that my professor's now think I am weak, not smart enough or even not fit for academia. But you never really know what are the good news and what are the bad news. I met Diana.
