Graduation requirements
Right now I’m working on putting together my master’s portfolio in order to, like, leave grad school without actually dropping or getting kicked out. This portfolio must contain the following items:
- A cover letter that describes the contents (apparently they won’t speak for themselves).
- A statement of intent that describes my future goals (yeah, hi, I’d like some kind of job thingy).
- A publishable paper that somehow relates to my area of interest, which is technology in the classroom. (Too bad my best work came out of my Moby-Dick course…dammit. Now I have to write a totally new paper just for the portfolio. BECAUSE I DON’T HAVE ENOUGH ELSE TO DO.)
- An annotated bibliography from which is derived the question I’ll answer in my, yeah, THREE-DAY EXAM, which I am TOTALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO*.
All of this is in a current state of half-assedness, due in about two weeks, and my stress level is through the roof. I want to find a place in Pullman to stay so I’m not so totally wiped out on Tues/Thurs but it’s impossible. Gah.
So if I’m a bit snappish and angry for the next few months, know that it’ll pass. And in May, I get to get some kind of hood thingy that says, Yeah, this girl is now a fucking magister. Worship her, bitches.
