Day 63/100 of productivity

I meant to post this yesterday but my internet was having a meltdown 😅. I spent yesterday researching and planning my current essay, helped by my cat (there are photos of my cat as a kitten on my tumblr and I can’t believe he’s grown so much or that I’ve had him so long 😭) . Spending today writing the essay.

📚- The Hand on the Wall (Maureen Johnson) 🎧- Lover (Taylor Swift)

30.03.2021

Aujourd’hui c’était un retour à la bibliothèque pour consulter des manuscrits. J’ai aussi envoyé un de mes chapitres à une amie pour qu’elle le relise, rédigé ma page de remerciements (bon, ce n’est pas spectaculaire, mais il faut bien le faire) et une bonne partie de ma conclusion. Je ne suis pas pressée de corriger mes notes de bas de page...

I spent, again, my morning in the library to have a look at some manuscripts. I also sent one of my chapters to a friend who accepted to proofread it. I wrote my aknowledgements page (nothing impressive I know, but it still needed to be done), and a big part of my conclusion. I don’t look forward to edit my foototes...

i'm reading this non-academic book for a review i'm writing on how highly we should regard non-academic histories in an academic setting. and while i absolutely love popular histories, this just ain't it chief

Need to transcribe 16th century document for my final in a class but brain says

NO

Enfin je les ai tous ! Le volume IV paru aujourd’hui s’annonce passionnant (et très beau).

•matcha and reading•

So today I’m supposed to write a paragraph about candlesticks in the Middle Ages and my mother just told me “Isn’t there a talking candlestick in Beauty and the Beast?”

So now I’m supposed to write said paragraph with “Be our guest” stuck in my head.

My thesis: don't you dare

*the Class reviewing for a test*

Prof.: The Historia Regum Britanniae is a good example of the "historic myth" when it comes to historiography, the author was Geoffrey of Monmouth. Any other doubts, ask Andy
