For better or worse
For good or ill three e-mails have been sent to three professors, asking them to be on my thesis committee. Hopefully, they will be kind enough to accept, and I can let Dr. Altman know that I'm ready to file for candidacy.
I'm feeling uneasy and insecure, but anxious now that it's all been taken out of my hands.
Pray for me.
In the meantime, I'm back home. I wasn't sure I was gonna come home this weekend till I read the dreaded-candidacy-email. I wanted to be around the 'rents who always encourage me no matter how many mistakes I make. And . . . it's nice not having to hear myself think all the time, trying to fill the silence.
I'm in the process of formulating a thesis idea . . . I just don't know if it's plausible due to lack of source materials, but it's more traditional history and a local history project at that. I'll have to consult with the thesis director (if she says she will BE my thesis director >-<) to see if it's a valid idea and if she has any suggestions on how I should approach it. I don't want to jinx myself. I've had enough bad luck as it is.
Here's hoping I'll find three e-mails in my school e-box tomorrow saying, "Yes, yes, and YES!"
