the things you have to do to graduate

ok, so i'm getting my bfa in costume design, right? and instead of writing a thesis i have to do 3 practicums. i'm working on my second right now, designing a main stage show. sweet water taste by Gloria Bond Clunie, the ted ward prize winner for this year. (this is what has been making me so terrified of late.) so i'm doing research. lots of people do research online for their final projects. ruth right now is trying to find all sorts of information about grain production in the EU. but how many people's research takes them here, i wonder?
