Blessed I received a stipend to attend a conference in Florida last week. I got the opportunity to be around some of the greatest, nicest, generous minds in the Management Ph.D world. Everyone I was around was a Ph.D, striving to be a Ph. D, or wanted to be a Ph. D. Why was there? Hey haters, everyone knows that W&M teaches you to strive for excellence...and I helped coordinate it (just a little bit). The people were amazing, the seminars and information~ fantastic, the interested students~ fascinating.
And I met someone. Now wait, wait wait. I'm not putting too much into it. Just a man that expressed interest, asked to do some of my favorite things, walks on the beach, and homemade ice cream. It was a breath of fresh air, a ray of much needed sunshine. I'm not going to lie, it has been a while since I had a good healthy date. And it's possible that my confidence has been taking a hit. If no one tells you that your worth something that you are attractive that you are a catch, you start believing it a bit. And unfortunately between some of my former attractions, I've been called worse. Now I knew it wasn't true but every now and then it is nice to hear the good things. Now even if I never hear from or see this man again, I thank him for his positivity. It strengthens my faith that God has an amazing plan for me (besides educational/career!)
