That's okay! For a first year master's student, I actually have a very good start on my thesis - I'm studying sodomy during the Napoleonic War in the Royal Navy. I have a prospectus - which even won a prize, and embarassed a few professors in the process - and right now I'm working on my historiography. Next fall I'm going to Greenwich to study, if all goes to plan, and to do my primary source research up the river in Kew. I'm planning to defend in Spring '08 and then, well, get a job or a Ph.D. Wow, that sounds amazingly together - I'm sure it will fall apart at some point.

Thesis calling cards would be awesome! Mine would be just a bit interesting:

Random Person: "I think there's a typo on your card. Did you mean subtext?"

Me: "No, I really did mean buttsex."

Random Person: *walks away*
