My Thesis Partner...
...finally has a draft of his literature review! It has been a very exciting day, let me tell you, to know that I am not the only one writing down my research findings.
I'm ready to move on to the next step of the thesis writing project (keeping in mind that at some point I will have to finish up that last chapter, which is so close, and yet so far from being done)--interviewing two dozen survey respondents. So far, I've sent them all emails asking for an hour of their time (which in itself took a couple hours), and so far I have 4 interviews set up. The first one starts in a half hour. I'm fairly well prepared, and have 9 brilliant questions to ask, plus whatever else comes up in the conversation.
In other news, the interview yesterday went well. It will take at least 2 weeks to hear whether I've made it to the next step (an offer, I think), but I'm feeling pretty confident.
Also, I finished my op-ed and submitted it to 4 B-I-G newspapers. No response from them yet, but it's so damn brilliant that they would be fools to pass it over. At least, that's what I'm telling myself. If I don't hear back by Thursday, I'll submit it to some more regional newspapers.
