I'm alive! Really! And I've been doing things besides Destiny! ... not a LOT of things besides Destiny, but still. Some. Thesis corrections continue and with luck (and lack of laziness) will be done soon ( Read more... )

I am alive! I have not been up to much, really. Lots of internet, lots of Destiny, some writing, some tearing my hair out over thesis corrections. (I am actually not even on the corrections proper right now; for some reason Microsoft Word on the Sibyl decided that the thing to do with my thesis's final draft was STRIP OUT 90% OF THE ITALICS AND ( Read more... )

Okay, thesis corrections, you would be going much better if a) there were no Destiny to tempt me and b) SO MANY OF MY ITALICS HAD NOT GONE MISSING. There are 327 pages in this thesis! THAT IS A LOT OF TEXT TO PUT ITALICS BACK INTO! Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. (I mean, at least thank God they were there in the version that the examiners actually got, but ( Read more... )

I have had a few fun mental images of scribes during this thesis, but I think the overall best* is going to have to go to Josephus Scottus looking at Isaiah 1:2 and saying, "I recognize St. Jerome has made a decision, but given that it's a stupid-ass decision, I'm electing to ignore it ( Read more... )

Thesis Update: Well, the bibliography/other revisions are 99.9% done! Which probably means there is a whole new host of problems awaiting correction, but that will have to wait because I do, in fact, need to redo every single line number reference in the apparatus and main thesis. :D *INTERNAL SCREAMING* BUT IT CAN WAIT BECAUSE I NEED MY ( Read more... )

Haha guess who finally figured out how to switch all her thesis documents to A4 size and did it and now all of the line numbering in the edition is fucked up and I have to manually go through fixing every single line number reference in both the apparatus and the rest of the thesis plus I still haven't figured out how to combine the edition with ( Read more... )
