finish my M.A.

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.

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.

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.

crazy thing is that it is my third topic, third try to write anything but…, yhhh, can’t do this… i have an ideas, have conception, but no energy to write…

I have one late paper and when it’s handed in, I’m done my MA!

At least it’s better this term.

I have to submit my two late papers, then make sure I get all my final papers submitted by the beginning of May and then I’m DONE.

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?

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

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!

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!
