Yesterday, I presented my paper, “The Image of Women in Philip K. Dick’s Ubik” in my methods of theory course at Kent State University. My presentation was well received, and I got some terrific questions and comments. I’m glad that Professor Mack Hassler attended my presentation, because he asked me and the other presenters some thought-provoking questions. I’m glad the presentation is completed, so that I can write my final publishable paper version. As far as my presentation paper is concerned, I’ll probably take it on the road to SFRA or IAFA next year.
Besides expanding that paper to about fifteen pages, I have to write a 22 page paper for postcolonialism and a 20 page paper for semeiotics. Oh, and I have a semeiotics final take home exam that will consume about 10-12 pages. And to top it all off, time is quickly running out for this semester!
