Paper submissions

There's a call to submit paper abstracts for the Midwest Political Science Association conference in April.  The deadline is October 5th.

Some of us were talking about whether or not we should submit something.  I'm not sure if I should, or if it would be a good idea.  I mean, of course it would be, since I should get on the presenting papers thing as soon as possible, but the only paper I would want to submit is my thesis on the British Constitution.  And while I'm very proud of that, and actually have presented it a few times before, I just fear that it's not good enough to present as a graduate paper.  I mean...technically it is not, so I could always qualify and say that I wrote it and researched it as an undergraduate, if it ended up getting accepted.

Maybe I'll ask some of the professors here what they would do.  Perhaps I could even show them my paper and ask them to read it - if they have time.  It is obnoxiously long.  And...you know, ask them if it is good enough.

Man, I really am proud of that paper, and I don't want to just archive it away if there is potential it could live on a little while longer.  But...I fear the research behind it isn't good enough for a graduate student.

I don't know.

I'll talk to people.
