And with that last final submitted, I'm officially done with my first semester of my Ph.D program.

This semester was kind of a slay.

Today I gave a mini-talk in class, sharing an assemblage of thoughts I've been working through re: time, sobriety, memory. I got such gracious and caring engagement, questions, feedback and it really made me grateful to be sharing space with such generous peers #phdjourney #soberscholar

Some reflections as the semester comes to a close.
