Many of you who have spoken with me via PM or even in some of the forum threads have heard of my drawn-out thesis project for my Masters in English which I started over the summer. Last night I completed the 70+ page rough draft and spent nearly 12 hours at my thesis director's house revising and editing the entire document. End result: she was very encouraging about the quality of the product.

 

The end is in sight! With any luck, I should have the final copy completed and turned in within two weeks time! :grin: Anyhow, this place has been a FANTASTIC place for me to veg out as a study break zone in between writing chapter so just wanted to share in the good news!

Congrats! :applause:

 

Will you be going into education? Or, another discipline?

 

Presently, I am teaching at the secondary level but my applications to a number of different Ph.D. programs are out. I should get my acceptance/rejection letters in the next monht. :wishluck:

After the thesis is done, are you going to try to find a venue to publish it? I've turned mine into a 20 page chapter for a book, but it is still in a draft stage and it is due at the end of the month. Ah!

 

I think the intent is to trim it down to a 25-30 page article and start peddling it around for a few journals.

So, the Master's program didn't cause you to question the sanity of going for a Ph.D.? :baiting:

Are you still completing your grad work or have you gotten the doctorate already? What field?

 

I actually stopped after the prelims went down in flames... I found that I was too much of a free/undisciplined/skeptical thinker to continue on in a scientific field.

Congrats!

 

My wife just had hers accepted and graduated in December. She got help from members on this forum with donations of graphic novels a while ago. Her thesis was on Graphic Novels and Reading Comprehension in 8th graders. :)
