What are comps you ask? Very good question. Comprehensive exams. Essentially exit exams for grad school. Our program requires you do both comps and a thesis to graduate.
I, being the general nut that I am, decided to take my comps a semester early as I have finished all of my requirements and wanted to do them while the information was still fresh. So, I declared myself.
To then find out... I'm the only one taking them this semester. Uuuhhh, what???
Whatever. Being the totally kick-a** rockstar that I am, I did absolutely no prep for them, other than to yank out a bunch of old notes and readings from last year and plop them in the middle of the floor an hour before they started. What is they? That's right, three essays in one weekend. One on theory, one on methods, and one on my concentration (sociology for those of you who don't actually know this.)
Comps are supposed to be done by 9:15 tomorrow morning. Are they done and posted? YES. Almost a full 12 hours early at the time of posting them to the necessary web site.
Yee-haw!
Because I don't trust technology, I e-mail my advisor to make her aware that they are in fact on the site. Uuummm, apparently she can't access them. Welcome to my life. I pound away all weekend and...
We'll see what happens!
