I passed!
So now with the written tests out of the way, the only thing standing between me and my masters degree now is the oral exam. Well, I have to pass my courses this summer, too, but you get the idea.
My oral test is on Monday at 4pm. That's 9am for you central timers. The good thing about that time is that I have a class at 5pm. The professor who teaches that class is the chairman of my jury. So I am guaranteed an oral exam of no more than one hour. So I have this weekend to study and prepare. The jury of three professors can ask me anything about any class I have taken in the past 4 summers here, including the classes I am currently taking. Today, I talked to the chair of the jury about what I should focus on and if there was any advice he could give me. He more or less told me the questions he would ask me about each of the four classes I have taken with him. So that was very helpful, especially since he taught the literary theory class that was the scariest in terms of remembering all of the theories and names, etc. He narrowed that class down considerably for me, so I am feeling much better about it now. So it's a question of studying everything and then not getting so nervous that I either forget it or lose the ability to speak.
And to top it all off, it is midterm. So I have a test tomorrow in my theatre class, another Monday morning in my dialects of Spanish class, and one more next Wednesday. 4 tests in one week--woohoo!
