Completely Unnecessary

Holy heck. About to print this mofo out. I really ‘finished’ earlier today - five hours ago, but the prose that had to be torn out of me (along with a little bit of my will to live) took a while to clean up.

So, what did I do to celebrate this glorious achievement? I took some books back to the library and immediately checked out King Leopold’s Ghost. (It’s good, you should read it). Yes, I am the kind of person who reads history books more than once. I eyed it the other day on the ‘Recently Returned’ shelf and treated myself to checking it out today. It’s time to admit to myself and the world that I am an enormous dork who gets off on colonial history.

And now, because I can barely read words anymore, I’m off to bed. Thanks to those that kept me (largely) sane the last few days. I can easily say this has been the most frustrating process of my entire academic career. And it was on ethnography. So weird. Extra thanks to Sam and Violeta for reading that nonsense - Sam twice. And she had a slug in her sink.
