A new more positive Jane Austen

So last week I was a life coach and the funny thing is, is although I am a great life coach for my friends, I'm sort of a crappy life coach for myself. I think that's probably how all of us feel. So starting yesterday I have decided that I'm going to be more positive. A good friend of mine told me I needed to be and I think he's right.

So I was feeling nervous about my second master's program, but the genius of it is that I might feel like I don't belong because I don't have a fine arts background, but technically I do. Not an established one at least not academically established, but I was a dancer for 14 years, I dabbled in theatre and I've taken the Richard Feynman approach to teaching myself about art history. I also discovered something on my own yesterday that I didn't read in a book. It was a theory that Rene Magritte was actually the father of Pop Art. Most people say it was Warhol or Lichenstein. I was actually right to a point. Magritte is thought of a the father of Pop Art, but he's not because he didn't want the title. So I feel very proud of my non-traditional art history background.

What have you discovered that made you feel smart?
