Hidden Treasures

I've been doing research and began writing my senior thesis for my Integrated Studies cap II this summer. I've been narrowing my thesis statement down to get it precise enough to submit it for some conferences.  As I was reading our assignment the criticism "New Historicism, Cultural Studies (1980-present) describes exactly what my work is about. I attended a conference before school started with three women on the panel. Claudia Bushman talked about an oral history project she has been working on. She introduced the concept that history allows for limited views and preserving oral histories permits us to record those views.I got the concept she was speaking about but I'm not very quick at taking notes. So from our reading I now have the correct language to use in explaining my thesis.
I am a firm believer in  the fact that the universe knows my needs and I'm continually guided to where they can be met. I have found that each class I take has hidden treasures for me to find it's similar to opening a present. I knew that in taking this class it would help me with my writing. Nevertheless I didn't expect it to happen during our first reading.
