Today was my defense of my thesis and comprehension exams.

We went over my comp exams and I discussed my answers. It went well. Everything was satisfactory.

Then we discussed my thesis.

You guys. They said things I hadn't even dreamed that they would. They told me it was an amazing thesis with excellent uses of sources. They told me that I have added substantially to the field that my thesis covers. They talked about the ways I could expand my thesis into a dissertation because all three committee members said I should "strongly consider" applying for a PhD because my thesis on is "attention-worthy" and "extremely publishable." They even said that if I didn't want to apply for a PhD at their university that they would each be delighted to write me a "glowing recommendation letter" because they feel so strongly about my work and my abilities. They had only 2 critiques of my thesis and said they felt nit-picky because the only critiques they could offer were normally reserved for PhD students and their dissertations. They called me their poster child of the M.A. program.

It was the most amazing experience.

I did it!

And I am so tired. OMG.

Thank you everyone! I honestly don't know what I want to do. They were so earnest in their recommendation, but the job market outlook for my field is awful. The idea of pursuing a PhD is at the back of my mind (if I did it I would apply to begin in the 2016-2017 academic year), but for now I'm going enjoy my newfound free time and explore any opportunities that may be available to me currently.
