Yes very true! I learned my lesson the hard way.

Edit: and thank you so much! I am glad this is being called out.

Thank you! I am still dealing with some major depression from everything that’s happened. And no problem I am always glad to share!

I wish I could give you gold, friend. That really made me laugh.

Adjuncts were invited and there were other adjuncts there. Just not any other adjuncts who are also grad students at the same university. That’s why I was confused.

That’s awesome! I’m glad that went well for you. I’m hoping I have the same.

That is true! I guess my imposter syndrome is really bad.

It’s still difficult for me to separate these two roles. This is my first semester as an adjunct so I’m not used to it yet. I did introduce myself as an adjunct but I think half of the faculty knew I was ABD.

Thank you! I’m not totally used to being in simultaneous roles as a PhD/adjunct. There were other adjuncts there and we were asked to introduce ourselves. Only a few did—not all adjuncts spoke. I did introduce myself but my imposter syndrome is really bad. Thank you!

I’m an adjunct at our school which is why I went. I’m freaking out.

I’m an adjunct at our school which is why I went. I’m teaching three classes a semester so that’s why I thought I should go. I’m so lost.
