I have a complete doctoral committee! Yay! Now, all the scariness of comprehensive exams begins. Now I have to work on making reading lists for three areas of specialization, which is going to be a lot of work. So I get to add that to my already really full plate of teaching two sections of freshman English, finishing up an incomplete paper, and working at my second job. I need to work up some nerve and tell my boss that I have to cut back my hours at the second job, but I’m torn because I’m super broke and this extra money is incredibly helpful. Still, the fact that I now have a complete committee is really great news.

But, no matter what I’m going to kick butt at studying for my comps.
