with the chair of my doctoral committee. The good news is my British Modernist Literature reading list is in way better shape than I thought it was. The bad new is I still need to find a ton of secondary sources, literary criticism, and literary theory. However, she gave me a lot of good leads, so I don’t think this will be such a hard task. Reading all of this will be though. We also talked about scheduling my comprehensive exams some time toward the end of August, either right before school starts or right after. I’m trying to decide which one is less stressful. However, I think having a set time to take my exams will help give me structure in my studying.

Tomorrow afternoon I have a meeting with the committee member who’s heading up my Nineteenth-century British Literature list, a woman who I both love and fear all at the same time.
