I have just put the (ostensible) finishing touches on my Honour's Thesis, a 30+ page rumination on satire in superhero universes. I've been looking at this project as something of a culmination of everything, or almost everything, I've learned in my undergraduate years. It brings together everything I've learned about essay writing, bits and pieces of the literary history I've studied, applications of various critical readings, and, of course, my over-riding love of the superhero.
It's big. I'll say that for it. Whether or not its good is not for me to decide.
But I think that maybe it is.
That said, I received my final essay back for Shakespeare today, and scored what has to be my highest essay mark to date, a 97%. Not only did my TA tell me that it's as close to a perfect (undergrad) essay as she's ever read, but my professor who looked over it wrote at the end that it was good enough to expand into an article, a thesis, and a book.
A fucking book!
So, if I can just manage to do well on my exams, I will finally, after only 17 years, have a Bachelor of the Arts with Honours in English. How cool is that?
In September of this year, 2011, I will start upon my Master's degree. I cannot wait.
