[insert fanfare here]
This morning I handed in my dissertation! Hooray!

It's a bit shit. Actually it's a lot shit. Part of the problem is that the scope of my title is much too broad, so there's too little of everything. (I realised far too late that I could have written a much better dissertation on a subtly different topic.) Partly, though, it's just that I ran out of time doing it at the last minute and left several sections - rather important ones - feeling decidedly incomplete. I think the main point of my title actually got submerged amongst things that should have been less significant.

But still, it's well-presented, it's within the word limit, and it includes a contents page, references and a bibliography. If it makes something resembling a coherent point amongst all that then I've at least jumped through some of the hoops. I'm pretty certain that I'll pass the module at least.

So anyway, I then slept for the entire afternoon. Now, time to prepare for my German oral...
