  1. Holy cow, that's going to be quite the weekend! Good for you, dude! Stay hydrated. XD
  2. And thanks Wyatt's Torch and unræd for your replies! You both gave excellent advice, and I look forward to getting to know y'all better! Shaun, I'm so glad to hear I'm not the only one! Your approach is similar to mine, so you've given me great confidence! Good luck with all of your prep as well!
  3. That's actually a great idea, and is definitely one that I'm considering! And thanks for the heads up about Martha Nell Smith, I'll absolutely cheek her out. The only problem with combining is that I am more interested in studying digital texts (games, interactive media, etc.) as literature than using digital methodologies, data analysis, etc. to analyze printed text. I'm still formulating WHAT I want to do, to be honest, but I'd much rather be in an English program than a media studies program for my PhD, although I am applying to media studies MA programs. I'm still in that impostor phase where everything I say about what I want to do sounds insane/dumb/ignorant, but I'm hoping that interacting with people on these forums will help me narrow my focus into something I can, at the very least, confidently put into words!
  4. Adding my name to the list! Super anxious, so anxious that I feel like hitting enter on this post is going to jinx everything somehow! I'm making it all real, aaaaah! I'm going to be applying to a combination of media studies and English programs, both PhD and MA, as my focus is going to be on digital humanities/games studies, digital texts, etc. I'm also considering early modern, however, so I guess I'll be applying to some programs as one emphasis and some as the other, seeing who bites? Is anyone else making two packets? If not, how do you narrow your field down when you have two strong interests/backgrounds?
