Today I'm thankful for...
Passing comps!
I just have to dedicate an entire day to being thankful for this! I don't think I ever really explained what comps are or why I've talked about them so much. I'm in graduate school to earn my Masters in Information Science (the new and fancy version of library science). As part of the fulfillment of my degree requirements, I had to take a comprehensive exam (comps). The exam consisted of five essay questions, and I had to pick three to answer. We weren't told anything about the questions in advance; previous questions were posted on the website for us to get an idea of the types of questions there could be, but the actual questions and topics were unknown to us. So, the idea of having five questions over just about anything in the field of information science was a little nerve-wracking! Luckily, they told us that only one person had ever failed and you had to try pretty hard to fail. I'm competitive, but that's one contest I was glad to lose! So, with a passing score and at least a C in my last two classes, I'll be DONE! I'm sure I'll be thankful for that soon... ;)
