1. My ModBritLit course is entitled "Fabricating Englishness: Modernism, Nation, Empire," and I fell in love. A whole course on the identity crisis that is British modernism - such a gift!
2. I'm the only gender/sexuality student (the rest are 19th century American, or Victorianists, or narrative theorists...), which is scary but empowering. My psychology background apparently adds credibility? People seem to trust what I have to say which is awesome
3. My advisor knows Suzanne Raitt (!) and is supportive of my thesis proposal. One down
4. The MLA Convention is being held in downtown Philadelphia December 27-30!
Life is but a dream right now, and it's freaking me out. I can't make this stuff up.
Professor Joshi asked us to choose a "keyword" as a research platform
in our MBL work, which will evolve into my master's thesis
(see: Fall 2008 colloquium)
