I completed quals (qualifying exams, I declared "unfit" to write your thesis proposal ... the academy is like a long obstacle course. diploma at the end there and kiss, but no medal). And then I had a conference.
present with my advisor, I was very nervous, and then had his head split into three: one part was making the presentation, reflexively monitored elsewhere (Giddens sorry!) Presentation, and the third was that which monitored the act of giving the presentation is not sued me so much attention that the presentation was a disaster.
chronic Student (English): Well, we see that both the phenomenon of "journalism" as the study of the phenomenon are in a liminal time, between traditional and change ...
reflective Monitor (mixing English and Castilian): so far so good ... do not read! ... Smiled but not much, Miss California You are not ... uh, a teacher is leaving the room ... is a member of your committee ... fuck!
Part 3 (in Castilian): focus on giving the presentation, baby.
chronic Student (English): ... on the one hand, news producers cling to traditional practices, as the focus on providing information rather than on act as facilitators to participation ...
Well, I think it was a success. But as said another panel member, former news producer, a professor at a state university-any newscast you can walk away from is a good newscast-(any news program that you can go is a good news, that is, while there is no very grave error to chase you for the rest of your life, is fine). My presentation is in that category.
Before, we had lunch with members of the panel: three Americans, three Europeans, and me. The Americans talked of silver (many universities I lowered the salaries of teachers, between 0.5% and 10%, and said that "work fewer hours), and a teacher complained:" work fewer hours does not make sense unless you can make those hours coincide with school hours of undergaduates. " He also talked about racing, who is in each faculty, Professor X who hired and who got tenure or not. The Europeans, a Norwegian, a Welshman, a Catalan-speaking cities in Europe, places to visit in Chicago before becoming the English rail system compared to English, her personal life, you were recently separated. I listened, smiled from time to time, and thought how much better it would have happened to my companions, who had gone to eat Thai, four blocks from the conference.
