Making a Comback

So this is essentially the official announcement that I am attempting to start blogging again.

I made it through my comprehensive exams in philosophy (yay!), and am quite pleased with the result (also yay!). Additionally, I have sent the manuscript for the translation off to the publisher, and got all my footnotes in my dissertation, so in theory I have time again.

A piece of advice for anyone writing a dissertation: be very very sure that you have the format right at the beginning. No, asking your advisor is not enough, see it on paper. Moving around 1,000 quotes from inline citation to footnote citation is decidedly not fun.
