Ohh... Yeah, I guess that's a bit different. I'm in my second year of an undergrad English Education degree. Planning to teach teenagers how to write and well... how to enjoy reading and speaking and... words. I like words. .-.

Anyway. I'm not certain, but I'm pretty sure in America, Dissertations are a 'I'm getting my master's degree.' sort of thing. At least, that's as much as I know about dissertations.
