DooDooDoo70s: Research.

12 April 2007

Research.

It's kinda funny how I have managed to go through this Masters degree program and had relatively little amounts of actual research to do. Now I am in the last weeks of my college life and all I have around me is research!

I have to do a "fake" prospectus for a thesis in one of my classes and my Comps questions arrive Monday. Yikes!!! "Comps", or the comprehensive exam, is a series of three questions posed by my three faculty committee members. I have seven days to answer these three questions. The questions pertain to my career as a performer and future college educator. The committee has a week to read them and then I meet with them to defend my answers in a 90 minute grilling. The thing is, I am actually in a way looking forward to it. The suspense is getting to me, I guess. Send me positive vibes next week!

I wanna be done with school!!!
