Pick your poison: dread or relief?

*living a nightmare as aternal as my dissertation*

I know my dissertation topic is important and interesting, but it’s also incredibly depressing with how current it is. I read the sources and I sometimes wonder is this from 1797 or last thanksgiving after Uncle Danny had too many G&Ts?

[Image description: Photo of an article I’m using in my historiography with several sentences highlighted including one reading ““The great source of all our political evils and misfortunes” he continued, stems from “the facility with which foreigners acquire the full and perfect rights of citizenship”.” Next to this I’ve annotated Hopkinson or your racist uncle @ Tgiving?]

Hi tumblr, can you do me a solid? I’m trying to finish up some weekly writing goals and I need some peer pressure external accountability. If you’re around now and you see this, could you maybe gently bug me in an hour or so to tell you if I made progress on my goals?

Goals are:

Translate ~1 page of Greek

Plan and start writing next short section

Read a bit of a source

ETA: done for tonight

Is today the day I finish my dissertation? Probably not but I'll give it my best damn try.
