Took my cognate question today, and wrote 3,001 words on 11 pages discussing the various methodologies that one might use to answer particular questions in a political campaign.
I started this one with a fairly solid outline in mind and wrote into that. At first blush I like how it turned out. We’ll see in a few weeks.
Keep ’em crossed!
(Just one more day, please?)
I wrote 14 pages for my second day of comprehensive exams.
I mentioned this on Facebook and the professor who gave me the question — she is a wonderful lady and a terrific inspiration; if I could be half as talented and successful and hardworking as her I’d be more than thrilled — liked my status.
I’m taking that as having passed the question. No need to spend any more time considering it!
And now I have two more days to go. Now the fun, hard, sleepy stuff begins.
Keep ’em crossed!
I wrote something like 4,000 words today on my theory question. I think that deserves a day off from writing anything else.
The rest of my day will be spent studying for the next few questions.
Keep ’em crossed!
I have finished preparing for one of my four comps questions.
The studying of another is half-done. A third has been written in the curious way these things come together in my head before I ever sit down to type. The fourth … has a way to go yet.
In the meantime, ghillie suits!
Just keep playing that over and over until you are incorrigibly happy.
(The Yankee and I spent Valentines day working on our various school tasks. Just as well. Last night we celebrated our as-precise-as-we-can anniversary of being a couple. We went out for dinner and then came home and talked about experimental methodology. We’re very romantic.)
Where we pad Sunday with pictures that never made it to the site. Poor, sad pictures. Don’t want their feelings to get hurt.
“Come to the blog on Sunday! Everyone looks pictures on Sunday!”
Yes, that one is small, but click the image to embiggen. This one has been sitting in my iPhone for a while. This is a parking lot in Homewood, Ala. Can you guess what I was doing there? Shot, and automatically stitched together by the free Panorama app. Not perfect, but, again, it is a panaroma shot from my phone. What an age.
Sunset over Auburn, Ala.
This will not be an inexpensive repair. Lesson: always counterweight your tripod.
Sometimes the sun catches you just right.
I love peanut butter as much as the next guy, but who needs six pounds of it at a time?
Church, read, studied, wrote, raked leaves. I have one of my four comps questions now sufficiently researched. (At least I hope.) Three more (all in various stages of progress) to go!
Come back tomorrow as I fret about two of those remaining questions.
But now, The Yankee and I are going out for early-Valentine’s Day/dating anniversary dinner.
(Six wonderful years!)
