That does make me feel better! I don't think you sound stupid in class, so maybe people don't think I sound stupid in class either. Which is comforting to think. (I also think part of it is that I'm technically a Victorianist, so feeling completely out of my depth in the seminar in my own specialty area gives me the wiggins, with extra wig.
...Sometimes I wonder why we do this grad school thing to ourselves. Seriously, we must all be masochists who truly thrive on pain, all-nighters and low self-esteem.
And I know what you mean about certain people. I love them to death, but I'm so jealous that they can ramble on for like ten minutes on any random subject and sound intelligent and well-thought-out about it. >_<
