Leicester: Day 52

Two essays diverged in an English dorm, I finished the one incomplete, and that has made all the difference.

Seriously though, as tired as I am, those last few hours were golden. My problem with the second essay was that I had a good idea of what I wanted my argument to be, but no solid evidence to back it up. I kept going through random sources, articles and the like, then bang! Research I had thought I wouldn't be able to use all of a sudden fit in perfectly with my argument. The idea was there, it was original and not too outlandish, and I didn't allow myself to put in any fluff. Also I cited that paper to smithereens.

I feel like a rock star. This rock star is going to sleep now for a very, very long time.

Ah, sleep -- sleep that knits up the ravelled sleeve of care. Congratulations on all the hard, successful labor.

Today, your mother's thesis has received approval from the University of Utah. It is now time to print that sucker and bind it.

Cheers & love,
