How on God’s green earth did I miss this last January? Oh, wait. I remember. I was rushing back from my grandmother’s funeral to take my comprehensive exam that ended up being pushed back a week.
But. I suppose all that matters is that I’ve found it now. Right.
“This is a picture of my dream. Becoming the first Muslim (hijabi) woman news anchor on American television. This is what I want my future to look like inshallah. For those of you who have known me for a long time, you know that this is what I’ve wanted for years! Since I was a kid! And this is what I’m working towards. So thank you to all of my friends and family who support me. I truly appreciate all of you. I hope you continue to stick with me throughout my upcoming endeavors :)”

Still waiting for prospectus approval to proceed on the dissertation. So much for my June 1 deadline.
Guess who has two thumbs and finished her first (very good, I think) draft of her prospectus? That’s right.
THIS GIRL.
Just waiting for feedback from my committee.
1 How does James Baldwin still manage to be the truth from fifty years ago?
1 Funny how a UTI can stop you dead in your tracks for days. Very little writing and very little reading happened this week, although some did. But just sitting or sleeping is uncomfortable.
Back to work on Sunday, probably. I’m so close.
Only two more chapter outlines to go! All that’s left is chapter 1 on 1945-1960 activism and demographic shifts and chapter 5 on post-riots legislative gains. I can only write about one of these a day so far.
I can’t wait to be done.
2Lit review is finished! Now all that’s left are three chapter descriptions, citations, and anticipated sources.
I need a Rudwick to my Meier. I bet he’d make writing a lot more fun and interesting.
In other news, I hate lit review. It’s the part holding up this first prospectus draft, and makes my insides want to die.
