ennyousaiSo far there are over 200 applicants for a position I applied to at the University of Missouri. That's pretty standard these days. So I'm one of several hundred. Chances? I'm getting a second Masters, and I have a second language. That's good, right? *bites nails*
So far the only real contact I've had with anyone is Bridgewater. They sent an e-mail to me letting me know that they'd made some changes to the position, and to please let them know if I was still interested in it. Of course, I don't know if they just contacted everyone who applied to the original posting, or only people they're actually interested in.
I shouldn't be worrying about it just yet, in any case. Today means one month 'til comps. I've been writing up summarizing essays of all my different sections - only have four left. It comes along apace. Just please let my questions be witchcraft focused. I know my witchcraft. Just don't ask about anything political, and we're good.
Need to get cracking on my second research paper. I think I might have found some good early modern German poems and plays to look at, know I just need to persuade the Folger to let me back in through the door so I can clap eyes on them. And speaking of the Folger, they have a new exhibition on Henry VIII opening in ten days that I am very, very excited for. It's going to be epic. They're also putting on the play Henry VIII go along with; thinking of getting tickets for when Mom comes out to visit.
Also need to finish my scholarship application for Rare Book School. I want to take a paleography class. It would be both interesting and, y'know, useful.
