H- holy shit

So. Thesis draft came back today. With comments. For those of you who don't know, my thesis is a semiotic analysis of language in a legal context -- specifically rape testimony. So my thesis has basically four sections: semiotics, language and law, language and gender, and the rape/laws about rape/rape testimony/rape trials chapter. Awesome. For the record, this means I have been reading alllll about rape all year. 49 sources, guys! In case anyone wondered why I've been staying out of the sexism and race debates -- fyi, this is why. My thesis produces kind of a high rage quotient in me, so until I am done with it I've been trying to keep a lowish profile.

Anyway, uh. Turns out my thesis draft was not made of fail? I feel a lot better! The final draft is due in a month, and I'm hoping to break 100 pages by then. But god, what a load off.
