MissHavishslam Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 (edited) I don't want to spread myself to thin with getting all this stuff done. That's exactly how I feel. The last time I applied I had so much going on that I couldn't keep everything straight. I think that I am going to request only one class to teach next semester and take more hours at my retail job. That way my lesson plans and grading won't take up all of my spare time. I want to approach and dedicate my time to my applications this year like a full-time job.

toasterazzi Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I can't get out of teaching two classes in the fall, but luckily my other job has been very cool about me only working during breaks. I'll be taking three classes, but I think I should be able to manage ok. I plan on getting a lot of work done over the summer though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aGiRlCalLeDApPlE Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Hi, I have a question about conference presentation: does anyone know if it's ok to use a modified/extract of your MA thesis as a paper to present at a conference? I got a very late notice of a conference that I'd love to participate in and I don't think I'll be able to come up with a completely new paper.

I got a very late notice of a conference that I'd love to participate in and I don't think I'll be able to come up with a completely new paper. I think that's fine. I've presented condensed versions of a thesis before. The difficult part is shortening it because EVERYTHING is important! Just pick a chapter or section to submit! Good luck! aGiRlCalLeDApPlE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toasterazzi Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Ya know, I've never submitted anything before, mostly because I didn't know how before I started my Master's program. But now I have this list of calls I'm going to submit to over the next few months and hopefully, at least a couple come through hehe. My theory prof is actually making us do a conference paper for our class (though it's up to us whether we try to submit) so that's handy. Gave me a nice little motivational push lol.

toasterazzi Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 So what schools are you all (tentatively) considering applying to? I know I've been working on building a list for a while now, and I imagine other people have been doing that as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I've been working on building a list for a while now, and I imagine other people have been doing that as well. Ha! As if I've gotten that far in the process. I've seriously got a list of about 30 programs and have only delved far enough as to ask my S/O where they wouldn't want to live. So, yeah... about that...

I, legit, just made a list and said, "After so many applications, location is low on the totem pole." HA! Luckily, she is very supportive and said she will move with me anywhere. She is a creative writer which means 1. that she can work from anywhere and 2. we will be filthy rich. My favorite reaction of hers to my list though was "You want me to move to Reno? THERE'S NOTHING THERE!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was really surprised when I went out there; there's tons of outdoor activities to do (Tahoe is only about 30 minutes away), a beautiful climate, and stunning mountain panoramas around the entire city.

That's awesome. I really liked the feeling of Reno when I was doing my research! I just told her to calm down! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup: if you like snowboarding and such (I do), it's a "top ten location." Also if you like the casino buffet scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toasterazzi Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Heh so here's one of my favorite places to get gifs: http://giphy.com/ I've seriously got a list of about 30 programs and have only delved far enough as to ask my S/O where they wouldn't want to live. Haha well at least that's something. It was nice of you to ask your S/O. I, legit, just made a list and said, "After so many applications, location is low on the totem pole." HA! Luckily, she is very supportive and said she will move with me anywhere. She is a creative writer which means 1. that she can work from anywhere and 2. we will be filthy rich.

Haha my fiancee is willing to move anywhere I go, but he'd probably cry if I tried to move to Arizona or something lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
