mission accomplished!
Hiya!
So . . . how ya been?
Finished my last paper the other day. It was brilliance. Handed it in, and
had an easy time convincing Karen to be on my committee and to do a tutorial
with me. So that was fun. I like Karen. I also used a spot of brilliance I
had hiding up my ass to convince two leading sociologists to team up to teach
me a tutorial on crowd action. I've decided to learn something about fan
behaviour. The only problem is that I have to meet with one of them during
the holidays, on the 29th of December.
And, of course, I still have to get my Ethics Proposal ready. Although, on
the plus side, Brian said I didn't have to do a Research Proposal, because
Ethics and Research are essentially the same document, and he didn't want me
to waste my time creating two of them, so the Ethics Proposal can stand as my
Research Proposal -- which means I don't have to do a literature review --
which is a big relief, because I've already done about three of them for this
degree, and I didn't see the point in doing another one.
So I'm not really going to have all that much of a holiday, what with school
and with travelling down to Ann Arbor to fetch the Boy. But whatevs. Three
people I idolize for their brains told me I was "brilliant," "exceptional,"
and had "true intellectual passion," which "makes for superb scholarship,"
respectively.
:D
So that's my story.
And, despite me not having any time to do Christmas shopping, I appear to now
only have three people left on my list -- which was up in the teens before.
Good on me.
If you don't hear from me before then, have a great weekend.
