Smallish Dissertation Update

Chapter One has been sent to both Dissertation Chair and Second Reader. Appendix will be typed tomorrow, and I shall feel like a real Anglo-Saxonist.

What is this appendix? Well, it's where I sort out how the Old English Orosius uses the the proper name of the historian Paulus Orosius, and to what effects.

Why does this list make me feel like a real Anglo-Saxonist? I think it's because it feels like "real" data. Quantifiable, and therefore tangible.

There's just something so darn satisfying about achieving descriptive accuracy.

Congrats! I confess to being envious...you are moving steadily through your project, we'll likely be awarded degrees at the same time!
