In reply to Interview with SI researcher tomorrow ***trigger*, posted by pegasus on March 10, 2006, at 22:11:41
Last night I was over at my neighbor's house chatting. She's finishing up a MA program in counseling psychology, so we talk about therapy etc. a lot. Just in the course of the conversation I though, "Oh, I should tell her about this interview tomorrow", forgetting momentarily how difficult it is for me to talk about SI outside of babble. So, before I had time to think I had said, "Oh, I should tell you about this thing I'm doing tomorrow!" Then I started to say something and suddenly remembered what a big deal SI is, and got all embarrassed and basically made a fool of myself. Fortunately, my husband was there, and started nodding enthusiastically for me to go on (he knows about the SI). So I stumbled and stammered out a confession that I SI, and explained about the interview. Man, I was sweating! (She was very sweet about it.)
So, now I'm wondering what makes me think I can just go talk to this grad student about it, like it's nothing? I'm a nervous wreck already, and the interview isn't for 4 hours yet.
