This is very interesting and a very imp...Hi Scott,<br /><br />This is very interesting and a very important issue, the question of intellectual production, and the question of alternatives to the university system. I look forward to reading your further thoughts on this and to contributing some of my own, if I can find the time.

It's scant consolation coming from someone who doesn't know you, but generally when people I know feel _that_ badly about something they've written, it's almost invariably better than their initial sense. In any case, stay strong, and good luck!<br /><Scott Neighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17415106335668233754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7042961.post-78798472187499497972011-01-17T00:01:41.710-05:002011-01-17T00:01:41.710-05:00Must be the thing... reading for comps, reading th...Must be the thing... reading for comps, reading this blog. <br /><br />I just sent off a 3 question OMG KILL ME NOW set of practice comps... they SUCK... but I TOLD my advisor I was not ready... so there we go ...the worst that can happen is that it is confirmed I was telling the truth. <br /><br />Anyway...

You will certainly deserve to feel proud and satisfied when you're done them!<br /><br />That's encouraging to hear that the teaching of Canadian history has shifted, at least in some places.
