26 posts, 2 blog awards, 23 new followers (which pretty much doubled my followers), and a nice collection of new e-friends! I have to say that time has actually flown by pretty quickly and I've impressed myself with my ability to post every day. For the most part I've even managed to comment on at least a few other blogs every day too.
For my final "All Things Grad School"
A-Z post, I am just going to talk briefly about something actually related to Grad School, well, kind of, and then I will move on to tell you about my next blogging adventure and a fun contest!
If you are familiar with Jane Austen (and by that I mean knowing slightly more than simply that she wrote
Pride & Prejudice) you will know that her novels have been adapted and adapted and then adapted some more. One of the better-known novel adaptations is
Pride & Prejudice and Zombies. I haven't read it; I likely never will, but it is intriguing none-the-less. I own
Sense & Sensibility and Sea Monsters, but after reading the first few chapters, it was just too ridiculous and, honestly, not all that well written in terms of the incorporation of new text with Austen's treasured classic text. These adaptations, however, are extremely relevant to my Master's Thesis which will inevitably explore the reason(s) that there has been a resurgence of Austen popularity in the last two-three decades.
Ok, moving on. So now that A-Z is over, what am I going to do? How am I going to get people to keep visiting my blog and commenting? Well, DL Hammons, owner/operator of
Cruising Altitude 2.0 and member of the
A-Z 2013 Team, has this genius idea called a
Blog Blitz so I signed up. If you take a quick peek to your immediate right, you will see the badge that goes along with taking part. I am the 303rd person to sign up so I figure visiting those blogs will keep me busy.
Starr Bryson over at
The Insomniac's Dream is also hosting
The ABC's of Swearing which is pretty damn cool so I'm going to take part in that as well.
Cheers, everyone. It's been a slice!
