So over Spring Break I submitted draft #2 of my honors thesis to Professor Pinedo. I was a little nervous at first, as always, thinking that the second draft probably still needed a lot of work. After editing everything, I got my feedback from Professor Pinedo and she thinks the paper is turning out well and is practically done. Of course, after she said this to me, I finished reading the book Brutal Intimacy by Tim Palmer, a book which is also about New French Extremism. Most of the book was a lot of crap, and only looks at the works of the big name directors, but there was one page that referenced the four movies I'm looking at. It turned out to be decently useful, as a decent amount of what he was saying directly supports my thesis. My paper elaborates on the nasty movies he didn't want to touch. Also, I had e-mailed an author of one of my Rue Morgue articles in regard to a source he used, he e-mailed me back a few days ago. This leaves me in a pretty good spot, I can add a few more pages to the paper and clarify some of my vague parts. Starting to get nervous about this semester ending and having to enter the realm of Grad school, but am very excited at the same time and still have fingers crossed for NYU.
Pinedo said I should check out a few other schools, so I started doing more research for out of school colleges. I looked at U Texas and U Wisconsin... still don't want to go out of state but their programs seem pretty cool. I know this seems lame but I really don't want to leave my boyfriend or friends behind!
On a less serious note, after class today I spoke to Pinedo quickly about my thesis and the movie Insidious came up (I was telling her how awesome it was). When I started telling her about the weird things that have happened to me at my house over the past year (including knocks on my door while no one was home, someone caressing my head, and beer caps flying off of my Miller Light can in my basement) she seemed really interested and said she was going to give her friend who is a psychic my contact info. Not sure I want to know whats calling out to me at my home-- but pretty interesting to say the least.
P.S...Still whoring out my thesis for anyone who wants to take a look and give feedback.
omg id be scared to find out what's going on in my house. we used to have weird shit in the basement of my old house (what is it with basements?) but seriously - you felt someone caressing your head??? in the dark or in the light? scary!!
ReplyDeleteit's not lame that you don't want to leave your boyfriend. me and my girlfriend get into arguments over this stuff all the time. she always says that job opportunites come above relationships but i totally disagree. human connection/relationships are worth so much more in this life.
ps: i was absent last class - what was our assignment? i emailed lana but she hasn't emailed me back!
