The Beginning of the End

[samallison]

Okay guys... I'm officially working on my thesis (since the first draft is due Wednesday). It feels so...weird? Like I'm starting something that means the end of my undergraduate career. I'm kind of excited... and yet I dread talking to Dr. West on Monday because she's going to tell me it's all crap and I can't graduate. Bah. I really dread

Don't sweat it. Everyone makes a big deal about it, but when it comes down to no one really cares about it. So that's either a relief for you or will make you depressed. You should have grabbed Dr. Chappell as your second reader - he didn't even read my last draft, he just gave me an A because he said "You seemed to have worked pretty hard on it." Yeah... Do you want to send me a copy? Pretty please? I can edit it for you, or just praise your genius, whichever you'd prefer. Oh, and tell Dr. West that I love her. In fact, I love all of my English professors...

I wish I had grabbed Dr. Chappell. But Dr. Vernon said I should work with Dr. West since she specialized on Austen. *sigh* Oh well. I'll either graduate or she'll eat me.

I've been dying to contact you about this paper. I miss your helpful suggestions!! I'm such a terrible writer, and I can't all brain-mushed that I can't think straight to come up with a decent "argument". My first draft is due on Wednesday, so I'll probably e-mail you a copy as soon as I get it written... I'm a terrible person... but I think I've reached the ten-page mark...
