OT - Almost Shameless Self-Promotion

NoMyths · 04-24-2003, 05:35 PM

Since I've been a member of this forum since lurking around the old Sideline, I thought I would take this opportunity:

to announce that today I successfully defended my Master of Fine Arts thesis. Several members of the community have been extremely supportive to me during the time that I've been a member of this community, from when I was finishing my undergraduate degree through today. Thank you for your generosity and (occasional

) kindness.

I'm the first member of either side of my family to get a Graduate-level degree. It's a really great feeling.

And still, the FOBL is definitely my life.

Congrats, NoMyths!

congrats!

Congrats!!!!

heybrad · 04-24-2003, 05:46 PM

Woot!!

sabotai · 04-24-2003, 05:51 PM

pfft, fine arts? That's not a real major.

Just kidding, congrats. (Shameless self-promotion) My girlfriend is about to get her masters in psych and then is heading to La Salle for her PhD (or PsyD, forget which one). So very soon, I'll get to say I've fucked a hottie with a graduate degree. It's a really great feeling.

Good job!

NoMyths · 04-24-2003, 06:00 PM

Thanks, guys.

hehe sabatoi

Although, for those who are unfamiliar with an MFA: it is a terminal degree (like the PhD). One can become a full professor with an MFA.

sachmo71 · 04-24-2003, 06:00 PM

Way to go!

I don't want anything with "terminal" in the name. As a matter of fact, why in the heck would they name the place where you get on a plane "terminal?"

digamma · 04-24-2003, 06:05 PM

Congratulations.

NoMyths · 04-24-2003, 06:06 PM

I think it's because we're supposed to starve to death after getting one.

sabotai · 04-24-2003, 06:07 PM

I agree with GrantDawg, anyone who pursues anything that's labeled terminal is insane.

And the fact that a masters in fine arts is a terminal degree just furthers my point that fine arts is not a real major. I mean, if there's not enough to your major that they can make a proper PhD program out of it, it must be easy.

So exactly what do you plan on doing with your degree? Sell it for some smack?

moriarty · 04-24-2003, 06:09 PM

Awesome! Congrats.

astralhaze · 04-24-2003, 06:12 PM

Congrats. But you still have no life. You are neither cocky nor funny.

And psychology is?

Congrats nomyths!

At least with psych you can charge people $100 just to talk with you for an hour.

CamEdwards · 04-24-2003, 06:52 PM

Great job, NoMyths.

May you never be mentioned in the same breath as Nicholas de Genova.

Killebrew · 04-24-2003, 07:22 PM

Way to go, jerkpants!

JPhillips · 04-24-2003, 08:06 PM

What is your MFA in? I am starting a directing MFA program at Catholic University in the fall, so I wil take up your art student mantle!

04-24-2003, 08:23 PM

I think I have a Girl Scout cookie around here somewhere that I could send you. You deserve to have one now.
