Ok, so perhaps some of you have noticed the MA Thesis progress bar has advanced to 100%. That effect is due to the fact that on April 8 (only 3 weeks ago!) I defended and passed. Suddenly I are an authority. I am now in the format check stages and am ready to print the copies [...]

So here’s my status as an MA degree candidate. My Master’s Thesis proposal was approved last week. I have two quarters to write it, with three thesis hours per quarter devoted to research and writing. Those are two of the four courses I need to complete my course requirements. I will also be [...]

Grr. Why is it, that when I wanted so much to return to school, that when I get here, doing any of my assignments is like pulling teeth. I can’t get motivated to do the assignments, and once I get there, sticking to the work is extremely difficult. It makes me want to overeat. [...]

So apparently I am injuring myself trying to carry around my books and my laptop at the same time. James got me a realy neat red laptop case from Target for my birthday but I can’t fit my school books into it. I have a sleeve for the laptop and I put it [...]

Thursday I started the MA program at Louisiana Tech. I am pretty excited about it, actually. I am taking 9 hours: Research and Bibliography, Teaching Composition, and 16th Century British Literature. The first two are sort of “core curriculum”. It is pretty exciting to get to take all your classes in your preferred field, instead [...] |
