The (very very long) Home Stretch 5 months ago

My dissertation is due in September. I met my supervisor today and as a result feel terribly behind schedule: I only have a vague idea of my argument and have to choose between two possible topics, both of which are equally feasible. EEK! How can I choose? Intuition? Just choose the thing that sounds cooler? I’ve tried about a million decision making techniques and still don’t know what I’m doing. Maybe I need to take a break and come back to this later? Blech.

One step closer 6 months ago

I found out this morning that I passed my written exams. My oral exams are scheduled for next Thursday (a week from today). Is it weird that I’m more nervous instead of less nervous? I hadn’t given them much thought because I was so focused on the written portion. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. They don’t talk much about how you feel when you’re close to the thousand mile mark.

Almost there.... 7 months ago

Well, I take my MA exams a week from Friday, and I think I’m pretty much ready. I still have a few things to read, but my advisors seems to think that I’m going to pass (and since they’re the ones who decide if I do, I suppose that’s what matters). I dropped out of graduate school for about three years after coming to a standstill with my thesis, so finishing for me will be a huge accomplishment.

Untitled 2 years ago

I’ve just finished my preliminary year in English literature studies, and now I’m on the 1st step of my thesis, majoring in American poetry. I’ve a year and 3 months to go before completing all the requirements of the M.A. degree. Well, it’s a very useful, rewarding experience, suitable for those who don’t break easily under pressure. To tell the truth, I couldn’t escape that, but it’s the bitter sweet, isn’t it?



Some more demands 2 years ago

Ok….... almost 6 months I wasn’t at the university. But you have to remember that I left just before the end of the first semester, and then was one month of vacation between the semesters. And the best, in the second semester there was a students’ strike for more than a month. So you can say: you really didn’t miss something.

But after I returned I know that I have:
1 – two works more to do for courses of my program
2 – I must do english exam, that offffff can determine if I’ll have another course, and now in english
3 – I must do course in Yahadut
4 – I didn’t send my theasis proposal to Noah. After the proposal, there is a commitee, and after it I must do the theasis…......... offff

chiao



OMG I AM SO DONE 2 years ago

Last paper turned in, graduation today! I am very happy and relieved to have made it through. It has been really hard going to school while working full time, and cramming my degree into a year and a half has been hectic to say the least. On this side of it though it doesn’t seem like a half bad way to spend the time.

Yay!



down from 5 in 5 to 4 in 4 2 years ago

papers in weeks, that is. as much as i wish that i could get a jump on the next task, i think i am starting to come to grips with finishing one paper and then working on the next paper each week. it is still a struggle as i wish very much that i could somehow get everything done all at once. really, i need to remember that i will give out if there is to be an entire month of craziness, so i need to plan some down-time in there somewhere.

but we are getting closer!
