i think i d do well in an academic setting if my mental health was not so shitty, research really sounds like one of the only career paths that match with my personality/interests, but i m too terrified of sharing anything personal for it to work rn

dissertation really got me asking questions i never thought i'd have to ask. such as 'shit, does irish have a negative question particle?'

#i have decided i don't think it does #also i love VSO it's so sexy #dissertationposting

my horrible beautiful son is almost ready to be born (submitted)

#i've got til 3pm tomorrow #or uh maybe the day after. the department keep getting the date wrong. not going to take that chance though. #have asked the girlfriend to cast an eye over it and stuff #and i'll do the same once i've (god willing) had some sleep #dissertationposting

[proto-language]

good news: mooooostly finished my dissertation redraft

bad news: it's several thousand words too long

#im going to MELT #i haven't slept more than three hours a night for like 4 days #dissertationposting

giving my first conference presentation babyyyyyy (it's an undergraduate conference so this is not a Big Thing but still! very exciting to see myself listed there like a real human being.)

this is so unnecessarily brutal kjsdghklsdlkgd i KNOW i'm bad at syntax

#me when im not even moderately informed #dissertationposting

also i feel like i am on a downward spiral which is somehow going to end with me learning middle welsh.

#my diss supervisor does. among many other things. a lot of middle welsh stuff. #i am doing the spiderman meme thing. #dissertationposting #seriously do blacklist that tag if you do not want to hear every thought that crosses my mind for idk the next Week

[proto-language]

i have finally completed the paragraphs i've been putting off for like two months. this feels like the academic equivalent of making a phone call which took 90 seconds.

#to be fair i think i have Needed all that time to dwell on what i was saying #not that what i've ended up with is very insightful #on the upside i think my lit review's basically done now #dissertationposting

[proto-language]

girl help my dissertation bibliography now contains. an irish-language biography of... an irish writer?

#referencing this correctly has been exciting #but not as exciting as referencing the paper from which i obtained the gloss and translation #for the sentence from that book #which doesn't really seem to. Exist. it's just on jim mccloskey's website for shits and giggles. #dissertationposting

[proto-language]

turns out if a supervisor won't rearrange a supervision you can just email them the night before like 'look i am literally not going to be able to write an essay, what if i Didn't' and they'll just be like. yeah okay.

#bless him #dissertationposting #tangentially

someone tell me why, despite having been working quite consistently on my dissertation since november, i am still working on the night before it is due, in march

#it's only 10000 words!!! #or it is now anyway. at one point it was 14000. #but now i've put it all into tables. which Don't Count. #also tell me why a paper which is Really Quite Relevant was released Two Days Ago #i think this is george walkden's way of getting back at me for being really awkward that time i met him him #dissertationposting

[proto-language]

it is with great regret that i have concluded that i cannot, in fact, phrase this sentence in such a way as to fit in a tom jones reference

#*tom jones voice* it's not unusual to innovate a question particle. or something. #unfortunately 'unusual' sounded slightly too weird and i can imagine the scathing comment it would earn from my supervisor. #dissertationposting
