KeymasterFinished one paper that was due today after spending much of 13 hours working on it. It was slow going, but I can now tell you much about how fourth century Christian centralized architecture was born out of the Roman mausoleum tradition. 😀 Fortunately, my other prof. emailed us last night and said the one for her class was not due today but instead Monday morning. Thankfully, thankfully...that may very well have saved my GPA. It certainly saved me from having an nightmare day today.

ParticipantI have one due tomorrow, that I am finished and another due next week that I have not even started on. I have a 24 hour shift Christmas day so I guess I know what I will be doing.

KeymasterExtremely busy time of late for me. I have been rushing to get applications sent in by deadlines, spending some time with family during the holidays, and so forth. I next have to start developing a prospectus for my Masters qualifying paper which I will be doing this Spring. I knew it was going to be one long, busy time from me beginning this past Fall, and sure enough it has been one. But for the moment, I may have more time to post on the forum here. 🙂

ParticipantJust finished pounding a out a twenty page paper on Natural law in the past two days and now all I have is a final exam and a one week break before my last MA class starts. Hopefully I will have my thesis done this summer and be the proud holder of an MA this fall. At this point it all depends on how much time off work I can get to do the traveling I need for my thesis research. I have the money because I have been putting it away for research for the last two years. I put it for some research fellowships and made the finalist list for one but did not get any. Thankfully I followed the military adage of expect success but plan for failure and I have the financial means to do my research.

ModeratorGood for you. Congrats. And that goes for both you and Phid.Right now, besides the Greek (which will never end and will continue on to Latin) I am taking a 16 week writing class and an 8 week diplomacy course (yawn to both). I plan to take the part II of diplomacy right after, but I want to see how this first month goes before I sign up for it. After these are done, I will be officially over the 1/2 way mark!

ParticipantThanks, Keep plugging away and you will not realize how fast it was by the time you are done. It only seems slow while doing it.

KeymasterA writing course sounds like it could be immediately helpful to use on any papers you have to write. And a diplomacy course….could be highly relevant to your papers as well. What's not to like?

ModeratorWell, the writing class is necessary and will be helpful. The diplomacy class isn't what I thought. It's like another International Relations class. What's not to like is it is not specifically Greek or Roman diplomacy..THEN it would be interesting! Both are OK, it's just that I would rather take history courses.
