Officially done with thesis!

That's right. I finished writing my thesis last Wednesday at 5:30am. And as of 7pm today, I have also defended it and given a presentation to the faculty and students at the undergraduate honors thesis symposium in the classics department.

The exciting news is Prof. Brennan and Prof. Connolly proposed that we type set and publish my thesis online! It would be a nice little publication for Rutgers alumni/ae to read. Thomas Frusciano, the Rutgers archivist, also wants a copy to keep in the archives. I feel like I'm actually making a small contribution to the academic world at last.

So, once my thesis is nicely proofreaded and formatted, I'll post it on here for those nerds who enjoy reading painfully detailed accounts of history.

IN OTHER NEWS!!

This saturday is Rutgers Day! Come watch the classics department take center stage on the steps of Brower Commons on College Ave! There's going to be a runway -- Greek and Roman fashion shows every hour, AND a reenactment of gladiatorial combat at 1pm. My very own thesis adviser will be deejaying. haha... I wouldn't miss it for the world.
