An email exchange:

ME: Kia ora [Person I was hoping would be my Honours supervisor], I was hoping to enrol in the summer/first semester research essay paper, although I know it's very late [because summer school started today]! The topic I'd
like to engage on is looking at the motherly girl in young adult
fiction, particularly the classic English adventure stories (for
example, the respective Susans from Narnia and Ransome's "Swallows and
Amazons" series), and how these roles can be interrogated in more
modern stories that nevertheless retain a similar "feel" - I'm
thinking particularly of some of the young women in Diana Wynne Jones'
more recent novels (Arianrhod Hyde and Charmain Baker, if you happen
to be familiar with those books.) To get more to the point, I was
hoping that you would be willing to supervise me.

SAID PERSON: That sounds really interesting! I'd be keen to supervise a
dissertation/honours essay on this subject.


\o/ WHEW/YAY.

I'm gonna assume you meant Tui there, because I ain't coming anywhere. :P
