We met this morning, discussed a book chapter, watched a few videos, talked a bit about experiments and the university’s Institutional Review Board. We talk about them a lot. <\/p>\n
We talked about our professor’s newest family addition. His wife just had a daughter. We talked movies — strictly professional — and then we thanked our professor. It was well-deserved; his was one of the better class experiences I’ve had in the program.<\/p>\n
I met with one of my committee members and we discussed my upcoming comps question. <\/p>\n
I walked out of the building, chatting with one of the journalism professors. Like that, my two years of classes had ended. There’s a final paper in the media effects class, and then comps in January and then the dissertation, but the classwork is done. <\/p>\n
I picked up a symbolic gift for my mother. I’ll give it to her next year when I finally finish the entire program. I had lunch a celebratory plate of my favorite vegetables. <\/p>\n
It isn’t comfort food, but close enough. The downside being that I fought the rest of the day to stay awake. I didn’t pull an all-nighter last night, but came close. I slept for just a bit, and enjoyed an early evening nap before dinner. <\/p>\n
I took pictures of random things, but you’ll see them Sunday. It was a good, tired, fun day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
