Day 8: We Have The Technology

Today is Sunday August 3. I have been busy reading, writing, dictating and soon going back to the library to obtain studies which I can start to memorize and pick apart in preparation for my exam scheduled sometime in September. The one thing I have a problem with is sitting down and just writing and reading. Somtimes I lack motivation, however being that I view this as do or die time, I simply must do everything I can do to hedge my bets if you will. Last week I contacted one of my former professors and inquired as to if he would be writing one of my exam questions. He was shocked (pleasantly I take it) to hear from me. That said he simply did not know if he was or was not so he voulentered to contact the department chair to ask on my behalf. He called and left a v-message stating that we were all in a holding pattern because no committee has been formed yet and I present a somewhat unusual case. I took two independent studies and one course off campus in another program which could roll into my program of study. Looking at the courses I have which complete my specialization, I have 1) Critical Race Theory, 2) Whiteness Studies (CRT II), 3) Gender Sex and the Body (at Georgetown), 4) Popular Culture, 5) International Communications and a 6) Readings Course in Mass Communication Media Studies. -- When he said this, needless to say I started linking conspiracy theory together which unequivically is not a good idea. So, I did a little retail therapy. In helping me prepare for these exams (now know as the GRAND INQUISITION) I purchased a micro audio recorder which could upload my audio files as MP3 files. I also purchased a copy of Dragon Speak so that I could dictate my answers and or transcirbe my answers into my computer and compare them with the actual published research. This, I am hopping will allow me instant feedback and self coaching which allow me to boost my confidence.
Sections I have been going over recently include-- Basic Research Methodology and Critical Theory. With a bulk of the questions now in my possession, I really should have no excuse but to sit my tail down and knock this project out. Looking at a bloggers site they had a quote from the Bible which talked about positive speech.
For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he.
