This blog is supposed to be about the whole family, so today I'll let you know a little about what's going on with me.
Right now I'm hanging out at home writing some papers. This summer I'll be finishing up some classes and trying to define my dissertation project. I need to write what's called a "dissertation prospectus" where I define my topic, put it in context, explain resources available and set out a timeline for research. I'll also try to get started on my reading for orals, where I have to read an insane number of books and articles on three topics and then go get grilled by a few professors about those topics. Many Ph.D. students have to do a written exam as well, but History students here only have to do orals (thank goodness).
Well, better get back to those papers....
