Pre-deadline panic. I just discovered that footnotes would be much more elegant than my usual parenthetical citations...but I usually don't use footnotes and feel insecure using them. Now, to rewrite or not to rewrite all my citations (not that ther…
Our system here is kinda strange as well. At the moment, I am not getting any loans because I took too long for finishing my degree, which is quite funny because due to Bologna, everybody does that. And my reason for taking longer than average is sp…
I have an awesome dad. After I managed to kill Lady Macbeth (my Macbook) by somehow letting her overheat four days before the deadline of my thesis, he drove here this morning and fixed her. Now, I can finally write in peace again.
I do that a lot. Also, stupid astigmatism...if it wasn't for that, i'd be able to buy much cheaper contacts. I recently switched from Acuvue Oasis to Air Optix because I thought that monthly lenses would be cheaper th…
Same here. Without glasses or contacts, I am practically blind. Since I really hated my glasses, I got contacts when I was 16 and in the beginning, it took me nearly half an hour per eye to get them in. But being able to see clearly out of the corne…
I think that there are three of them plus one prequel. But I am not sure since it's been a while since I read them. The humor was great. I should put them on my re-read list.
Hehe, same here. Mine looks a bit fringed, but that's just because I've taken it to so many places (scout camps etc.) and spent some time travelling with it.
Oh, and regarding fantasy books, I can recommend the Otherland series by Tad Wil…
The problem with my degree is, that it'll be difficult to find a job after graduation. I hope that I'll be able to stay at university and teach but since we are so few, I guess, lots of people have the same plan.
Oh, I love Pride and Prejudice and everything based on it (I still have Pride and Prejudice and Zombies on my shelf...need to read it when I have time). And Ancient Greek is lovely as well in What are you reading?Comment by AerdiyaMay 2014
I am not a real archaeologist but a digital humanist. We're something like envoys between computer scientists and humanities scholars and therefore have to take a humane discipline during our BA as well. My thesis is basically about using digital me…
Thanks a lot! Yeah, now that you say it, it makes sense. One of the reports I read was from the first expedition which took place around 1930, while the others were from the 80s. Though sadly, all of them lack exact artifact descriptions which…
Reading three different sources about the same excavation in the the same city...which all conflict each other concerning the layout and importance of several rooms in ancient Greek houses. Now, which one should I believe? On another note: I am real…
I'll probably be around only occasionally until the 20th May because that's when my thesis deadline ends and I really need to get going. Writing 30 pages and programming an equally large thing takes its time...and now, out of all times, I've gotten …
Turns out that one book that I need for my thesis is borrowed till my deadline. I can't even understand why somebody besides me would borrow it, since it's kinda specific. So, in the end I ordered it myself because I didn't want to suggest buying a …
Some allergy, stress or maybe winter neurodermatitis (though we have a very warm spring this year) is totally drying out and cracking up my hands. Usually, I only get this in winter <.<
