Hahahahahahahahahah OH GOD
So. I'm doing Japanese Honours this year and half of my dissertation for that is a translation of a 10-page-or-so article. So at the start of this semester my supervisor and I decided on an article which was 11 pages and which I thought was relevant and interesting. I scanned the pages so I didn't have to have the book on me to translate stuff, and it wouldn't fall apart since it's quite old. And I've been translating it since then. I'm a bit (lol, a lot) behind on it (I was meant to have finished the draft by the end of semester) but I was going to catch up and finish it during the holidays! So I just sat down to work on it and finished the one sentence I had left on the page I was on. Went to open the scans of the next page only to discover there's a page missing. That's okay, maybe the scans are out of order. Nope. No, there's definitely no page 104/105. How many pages do I have scanned? Eleven. I gave the book back to my supervisor a few weeks ago so she just got an only slightly panicked email from me asking her to check to see if the pages were actually in the book and I'd just missed them when I was scanning. But I'm sure we counted eleven pages at the start of semester.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

Let's be calm for the time being, though. There is no reason why, if necessary, I could decide that it was okay for length reasons for you to omit those pages anyway (suitably pruning off extraneous bits fore and after)."
Well at least I'm pretty sure she means "couldn't" there. S-sob okay I can stop panicking now.
