hawkwing_lbI have been a lazy student, these past couple of days. So! Now I must have a plan.
The more work I do on my thesis, the more I enjoy it. The interrelationship of the spread of the cult of Isis and the rise of hellenism is seriously fascinating. Ye gods is it hard work, but it's fascinating.
Tomorrow, I get to go to a café, sit down, and spend three hours, more or less, puzzling my way through the Athenian inscriptions from the cult of Isis and Sarapis. I also get to start reading these bits of Archaeology and colonialism, in order to start putting together a theoretical framework from which to achieve some actual conclusions. I'm going to have to start looking more closely at postcolonial theory and hybridity, since the thesis really, seriously depends on me having sufficient theoretical chops to stick the dismount, so to speak.
I'm also going to have to sit down and rough up a translation from the Greek of the Maroneia aretalogy, to have something to compare the Kyme one to. (And something to take to my lecturer when I break down, to demonstrate that I'm asking for help only as a port of last resort.)
But for now, I'm going to watch Criminal Minds, and then I'm going to go climbing. Sufficient unto tomorrow is the work thereof.
