Bad Mood

OK! I woke up yesterday in an incredibly bad mood. After being a real bitch at the office. I sat down to think about what was going on. Why on earth am I so pissy? Well, I think it boils down to the fact that I'm not happy about these comprehensive exams.  Part of the reason I went back to graduate school was to really focus on my thinking and writing, not to regurgitate the basics of the discipline. What is so characteristic of the institution is really hitting me in the face this week. In part, it is why I didn't go back sooner. However, the fact that I have a hoop to jump through is a decision I made when I signed on and paid my money for school It's beyond my control. So what can I do????

Well, today is Solstice and Dragon's Cauldron will be meeting on Saturday evening. At our planning last week, we decided to focus on Brigid. Well, golly jee, if that isn't a coincidence? It's Brigid that has the three flames of inspiration and poetry, nurturing, and transformation.  I've begun praying to Brigid to give me the inspiration and the connection to the wisdom of all those who have studied this discipline before me. I'm asking for assistance in clear communication and writing. I'm asking for assistance that I'm able to nourish myself over the next few days so that I'm not exhausted. I'm asking that this hoop I am jumping through is key to the transformation of my life and that it be easy, not hard.
