You're in second year correct?

Yes. I'm done with second year now except for exams.

 

[Death Aflame]

Yes. I'm done with second year now except for exams.

Nice. I am in my final year--fourth. I have one more exam and then I'll have my degree. Kinda hard to believe the undergrad ride is already over, I've enjoyed it for sure but I am looking forward getting away from the full time learning environment for awhile.

Finally finished my Roman Studies term paper, on the reforms of Diocletian. Actually researching these things and finding decent arguments and points to make is the hardest part; sure, the actual writing of the thing took about six hours, but you can autopilot right through that. Not to sound pretentious, but I'd be surprised if this didn't get an A, mostly because it's better than my last one, which got knocked down to a B+ because I had some technical errors with my references and I made stupid editing mistakes. My favorite thing about this class is that the Roman Empire is so fascinating it barely seems like work sometimes.

Got this back, fucking A+. Beautiful.

Slam Minded V2.0 brah.

Weirdly enough, me and my best mate had that idea.
He was always more artsy, and I was always more into the programming side.
He's doing some course like Interactive Media or something.
You know those sites that spin all over the place, and never leave the main page? Yeah, that shit.
He's getting pretty good at it

My undergrad thesis is going really well; it's on Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian and I'm really excited about some of the things I've been researching. Should be finished in time for graduation in December.

Anyone else working on a thesis or dissertation? I know Zeph's doing his translation...

 

[unknown]

good god no. but that's sweet you're doing your's on Blood Meridian. There should be plenty of research on that. I'm doing a 10-12 page paper on House of Leaves, and I've found 6or 7 articles total
