ermingardenAt long, long last: I'm done!
After a year of tearing my hair out over weird letterforms and attempting to get the amorphous ideas I had about eleventh-century hymnals from my brain to the page, and in the wake of not one but two last-minute all-nighters, I finally submitted my thesis! I've spent most of the past year stressed about this project, so it's a tremendous relief to be done with it. More than that, though, I managed to pull together a result I'm actually proud of. I still have another month of classes left before graduation, but this really feels like the culmination of my undergraduate career. It's definitely the longest, and I think the best, thing I've yet written. So if anyone's interested in 70-ish pages on "Aurality and Latinity in the Canterbury New Hymnal Manuscripts" (ha!), or if you want to chat about Latin/hymns/paleography etc., hit me up!
