    Paper Airplane thinks life really amounts to one big tag cloud.

    The Exam Study Binder Status 22 hours ago

    Organized? That’s a relative term, of course.

    I printed out all my responses from all three classes. I have three final papers to include, and I will work on expanding two of them to submit for a conference. I don’t know which one, since I have no idea what’s coming up this fall and in the spring, but that’s yet another thing for me to find out.

    I’m in at Manchester! All being well I will start there late September!

    This is a major milestone in my life, and I can’t wait to become a grad student!

    Thesis or no? 3 weeks ago

    So, for some reason, I’ve been thinking I needed 33 hours with a thesis or 36 without a thesis. As I was looking through the program’s website earlier this spring, though, I saw that those numbers are actually 24 with and 30 without! (I currently have 22 hours under my belt.) I’m scheduled to meet with my advisor later this month to discuss the pros and cons of choosing the thesis route.

    Halfway through now.... 4 weeks ago

    ...and I’m struggling. It’s not just that I want to do it, but I want to do it well. I don’t think I’ll feel like I’ve proven anything if I don’t get top marks the whole way through.

    2 down, one to go. Again 1 month ago

    I have two out of three syllabi and now know what the hell I’m supposed to study for the next 5 months. Yay.

    I love my department 1 month ago

    All three syllabi are available in my department, and I’ll be picking them up later today WOOT!

    Okay, maybe not so easy 1 month ago

    I have to add more of a theoretical basis for my paper (as I’d like to submit it for conference) and then be able to extrapolate an understanding as it pertains to culture, writing skills and education.

    Oooo-Kay. Great.



    Paper Airplane thinks life really amounts to one big tag cloud.

    Wow. That was quick. 1 month ago

    C already responded. She’s in Europe doing research (probably Belarus), and said that all really need to do is study my final paper and my responses from class.

    Dude. Seriously? That’s it?

    Two syllabi have been requested 1 month ago

    Hopefully I’ll hear back from C and L relatively soon, as I know I have to start studying for this thing ASAP.

    I think I still have my syllabus from J. I’m gonna look for that tonight.

    Plan of Study has been submitted 1 month ago

    Now, I need to find or request new copies of the syllabi from those three classes. WTF? I know I have them somewhere.
