week 1 of courses was amazing. i'm so excited to be in my last semester of coursework and to be taking the two classes i'm taking. i'm most looking forward to getting to work on my dissertation proposal (and i do think both classes will help me to do that). dr. campano got us all really excited in class on tuesday night, and then nervous when we started thinking about the magnitude and significance of the work to our lives, and then excited again when he told us that with hard work, we can have complete proposals (subject to revision once read by our committees, of course) written by semester end. yippee!
after class, the other lone cohort-mate of mine who is still in coursework (and is a wonderful human being and fun to be around and to study with) and i went to a wine bar and chatted about the journey and looked forward together, too. it is great to reconnect with a cohort-mate after a couple years apart. we're lucky enough to have yet another cohort-mate as our TA for our proposal writing seminar, so i'll be actively using the "cohort love" tag on my posts this semester. this is clearly a good time to announce that i just added a "dissertation" tag to this post. aaah! i'm tagging things "dissertation" -- that time has come. i'm obviously too excited to be very coherent in this post, so i guess, reader, you'll have to trust that things will be more coherent in future posts. i'll leave it at that.
