Wednesday was THE day... the day I had to hand in my thesis proposal to the graduate committee. It's done. It's in. Now I sit back and wait. Phew... one less meeting to go to.
So what happens now? We begin "negotiations". The committee will come back with either a flat out now or yes - but this is not very likely. What they will probably say is that I need to change something here and adjust something there. So I will go away and try to make those changes and re-submit it. Then they may come back again with more things they want fixed. Eventually they will either accept the proposal or one of us will say enough and stop the revisions.
I'm not entirely sure whether I want to cross my fingers for an eventual acceptance or an eventual/immediate decline. On the one hand I am truly in love with Cicely Hamilton - she's pretty awesome - and I would love to have the time to study her for months and months. On the other hand my proposal feels more like it was written by my advisor than me and it is so far removed from any practice of making theatre and from what makes me excited about theatre that I feel it is more of a chore.
On the other, other hand I may not even be in a school where I have the option of writing a thesis.
