Adventures in academic excess

Proposal for 8-page, 10-minute colloquium presentation=400 words. Rational.

Accompanying bibliography=38 sources. IRRATIONAL.

Some day I am going to have to learn how to focus my research. However, that day is obviously not today.

Also, at this point I'm not saying anything that hasn't already been said. Said by one of the profs in my department, to be exact. Dear me.

However I can take solace in the fact that the prof marking this ridiculousness specializes in Victorian Women's Lit. So I'm fairly confident in my ability to say anything about rural Canadian theatre and get away with it.

THIS JUST IN: Rural theatre in Canada started with a travelling troupe of NARWHALES under the direction LOUIS RIEL.

Yep. Academia and I are going to get along fine.
