i know it don't thrill you; i hope it don't kill you

Oy gevalt, I am glad to be done with my thesis supervisor.  Every time I turned around, she was telling me to do something and then changing her mind about it the next time we'd meet.  So last time we talked in person, she tells me to compare what Milton is doing with Scripture in De Doctrina to what some other seventeenth-century writers are doing with the same passages.  I find a couple of Quakers, some Church of England types, etc. with some opinions widely different from Milton's, and I quote them.  Well today I get my pages back, and my thesis supervisor is all "why did you quote all these seventeenth-century religious thinkers?"  WHAT?  Maybe because you TOLD ME TO?????  ARGHHHHHHHHH.  I'm serious.  She has done this throughout the entire process; it's like she totally forgets from one week to the next who I am and what I'm doing and what she's already told me about it.  I'm very, very glad to be done with her, though I like her a lot as a person.  This is aggravation I do not need when I only have three days left to work on this thing.

In good news, I got to work in Duke Humfrey's today.  wOOt wOOt.  I felt hella cool.

And now, back to completely ripping apart the introductory section of my disseration.  Arghhhhhhhhh.
