Spent a fair amount of time yesterday considering a study for a presentation in class this morning. And then, in class, it never came up. So Researching Media Effects today was about four critiques of four other studies, which is just as well. Five would have been too many.
After class I made a round of meetings, visiting with my comps committee. I made jokes with one professor, who gave me the two questions which will require a great deal of attention in the coming months and four hours to answer next year.
So I visited a second committee member and got two more questions that will require a similar amount of attention to detail. After that, I had a visit with my committee chair.
Then I scheduled my comprehensive exams. No turning back now. If you need me between now and January I’ll be working my way through a lot of reading material.
Framed some posters tonight.
These are posters I picked up this summer to commemorate our trip through southern Europe. I got them cheap on e-bay. Since frames are insanely expensive, indeed even a modest frame would cost more than any three of the posters, I decided to go cheap.
I only had to visit three Target stores to get the right cheap frames, too.
Now to figure out where to hang them. When they are on the walls, do be sure to ooh and aah at them when you come visit.
