I'm so excited I can hardly sit still. I screamed off and on all the way back from class to the office.
THEY WANT ME!
My professor asked me to stay after class today...I said ok, and he saw the look of fear on my face and he said "something cool, potentially anyway"...so I calmed down. Class was great as usual. Afterwards he told me about something he and another professor had been discussing and my name came up, because I'm uncommitted, have an interest in language and communication, and I have less preconceived notions (well, I don't know about that last one, but hey)...
He and another professor were discussing a local news story and he said it would be the perfect thesis topic, and that he and the other professor thought of me because it would be compact, concise and would get me "in and done"...OH MAN! Talk about handed to me on a silver platter! I told him to keep me informed and that I'm very interested.
I said "Potentially very cool. And it's just quirky enough" He laughed and said "ExACtly"...and I said "ok, you've got me pegged already"...
I'm so excited!!!
The two professors are really into this, but they don't have time to do it. AND he said that they would look to it with an eye towards publishing!!! Which is very important for an academic career...
PUBLISHING! man...I'm stunned and overjoyed

GREAT going!! But I am not surprised. You are going to go places with this!!
I think you need to marry a professor!! ;-)
Hmmm...well, there are no single ones in the department, however...they are advertising for two new professors for fall of next year. Maybe one will be mine. ROTFL!
good things are in the air...
