To travel hopefully is a better thing than to arrive

Hurrah, huroo, hurray, I have finished with the line edits to my thesis! This means, I oh-so-desperately hope, that I won't have anything else to do with it after the defense. Well, until I start making a journal article out of one of the chapters. And possibly, if I land a job that gives me access to an academic library, writing about 150 more pages on two more contemporary Irish poets tackling the same issues as Boland and making the whole manuscript into a book.

But with that out of the way, rather than celebrate, I must...review lyric poetry until my eyes fall out. I can't quite believe there are only six more weeks until I finish my MA.
