Whee!

I officially have one signature out of six on my prospectus, and have made the necessary changes he recommended. The second is promised, I just need to get it tomorrow. I still have to pitch the idea to the prof I want to be my second reader–he’s got office hours tomorrow, so I can ambush him then. Maybe I should send an e-mail to make sure he knows I’m coming?

After that, well, we’ll see. I’ve got a PhD application workshop tomorrow that’ll be run by the owner of one of the other signatures I need. Luckily, I’ve had all three of the remaining profs as teachers recently— the British Lit emphasis advisor was my Victorian Lit teacher last semester; the Assistant Chair taught my Critical Theory class in spring, and the Graduate Coordinator taught the undergraduate 18th-century lit class I took my first semester. Also luckily, those three signatures are usually just hoops you have to jump through. Getting a hold of them all will be the hardest part, methinks.

And then my prospectus will be IN, and the real fun– writing the dang thesis itself– will begin. :P

In the meantime, my grandpa’s been in the hospital since Sunday with internal bleeding. Not good. They’re hopeful they’ve solved the problem, but man– he’s the only grandpa I have left.
