Man, I let this dry out, didn't I? Shame on me. (Busy last semester. This one is my last--eek.)
Anyway, I thought you guys might be interested in seeing this newspaper article, since it involves ET:
Troy University Student's Work Published On Encyclopedia Titanica Website
I don't have a hard copy of it myself, but one of the professors cut it out of the Troy Messenger and tacked it up in the history department common room.
So yeah, Parks, I'm at good ole Troy, for a few more months, at least.
Your pointing out my mistakes has me very embarrassed at myself, but I do understand that they are meant to be constructive. I was actually sitting in class earlier today pondering a new paper I get to write about the Titanic, and remembering Michael's suggestion that I might want to take this paper further someday, and wondering if I could actually do it. I'm still positively lost when it comes to what I'm going to do with myself after graduation--my efforts into looking at museum job opportunities are falling dead flat--and suddenly the thought of working on a book, even though it wouldn't be fiction and my poor fiance would have to support the both of us, sounds extremely appealing. So what I'm wondering is, would anyone here be willing to help me with it, and how would I go about trying to get it published (or should I say, would anyone even want to)?
I think I'm babbling, so I'm going to hop over to another part of the forum and wax philosophic on my new paper topic.
Again, having my paper published here is sincerely the proudest moment of my life to date, even if it is rather noobish.
