“The Role of Ritual in the Mythopoetic Men’s Movement.” 40 pages. 9 bound copies. I’m turning that biznitch in tomorrow. I’d like to win the Oswald Werner prize for the best undergrad thesis in anthro at NU, but we’ll see. At this point, I’m quite happy with the paper. It can stand on its own. If they don’t like it, fuck ‘em!
Writing my thesis was ultimately a rewarding and informative experience. I think the amount I learned in the process of researching was roughly equal to that of all of my anthropology classes put together. So am I glad that a senior thesis was a graduation requirement in the department? Damn right. I almost feel bad for the kids in other majors that don’t write a thesis because I think they can slide through their undergrad without really understanding their field (or at least a small subfield within it) very well.
Hey, by the way: now that I’m done with my thesis, what do I do with my life?
I’m feeling strangely homesick at the moment. I’m not sure why, but maybe this is the typical after-college feeling that some kids have. They go off to college after high school wanting only to get away, but after four years out of the house, they want to come back. I don’t think that’s exactly it, but I guess I can’t completely escape the archetype of the typical college student, eh?
Mm, more geeky website stuff. Been doing a lot of that lately. Check it:
- This biznitch will actually display in Netscape 4.x now! By using “@import” to get my styles instead of <LINK>, I successfully shielded that beastly program from all of my scary CSS.
- Pages print better now. I accomplished this via the “@media print” technique. Check it out in Print Preview — you’ll see that the page is simplified and re-colored for printing, and menus are hidden. These styles are also hidden from Netscape 4.x.
- You can easily navigate to the previous and next months of the jotsheet when on any month’s jotsheet. The javascript for this took me too long to write because I’m stupid, but it’s finished now.
Oh, and one piece of advice: Mary Jones, I think we all know that it’d be best for you to keep the ol’ yapper shut. Ask Anne: I have a bit of material on you. Baby, it’d just be like the U.S. and Iraq.
