Dissertation logs
Dissertation is... ongoing. At least, I have acquired the skill of reading fast and reading a lot; which is what I spend most of my evenings with. Working full-time means that I can't exactly put in as many hours as I would like, so I have to be as efficient as possible.
Since I'm not enrolled in a formal programme, I also have to actively seek out other people I can talk to. Thankfully this has not been hard at all. The university I am registered with has a few groups that meet up (semi-)regularly and my supervisors organize a colloquium each.
As a P.S. I have looked at the "Queens of Egypt" and remembered why I stopped posting - Nefertiti is up next and the choice of topic is rather difficult. For anyone who wants something on her, I recommend reading "Akhenaten, Dweller in Truth" by Naguib Mahfouz who has written one of the most interesting takes on remembering history after the fact.
