A number of very frustrating, very interesting, and very exciting things have been happening to me. I've been thinking a lot about all of them and would like to share them here, but am reluctant because I am not sure who reads this thing. Obviously there are tons of resources out there that share protocol on appropriate topics for blogging, so its not that I'm looking for someone else to tell me the risks I'm taking when I share something. I am in a place now where I have to really consider what is okay for me personally to put out there and work out on in public through this blog.
I do not have my name on here, and I have not shared this site with anyone I work with, for example. But the question is, how easy is it to find out who I am if you know a few things about me? After all, in May, someone who I did not want contacting me --and expressly told this person that I didn't want to be in communication with him--was able to find me somehow! I looked up my blog profile from a different computer and it didn't have any unique identifiers. I don't mind sharing this information anonymously, but I don't want to share certain things if random people can find out who I am....
As I consider this question in terms of my personal comfort level, one thing I will say is that I was recently accepted into a PhD program in Literature, and I am super psyched about it. I have a lot to be thinking about in terms of decisions, but it is a great feeling to be on the winning side of a decision that is completely out of my control.
Congrats!
