Getting there.
95 pages submitted to my advisor yesterday. Now all I can do is wait for feedback... then scramble to make any and all required changes before the deadline on the 30th.
I don't think I've ever done anything harder than this project in my life.
I'm exhausted.

The home stretch
I probably won't be posting much here over the next little while, because THIS IS IT: the final month of my Masters'! My final month as a student for, oh, probably a long time. (Although I'm not saying forever.)
This next month is going to be pretty intense: although I have my entire thesis pretty much written, there is still quite a bit of editing to do and I anticipate lots of back-and-forth of the final document between me and my thesis director.
I started this blog just as a way to keep track of random ideas that popped into my head, or thoughts about books that I'd just read. Then it became a place for me to get out all of the thoughts I was having about marriage. (Because I had to get them out, they were driving me - and my wonderful MB - nuts!)
More recently, I've enjoyed writing here, and I think I'll write more regularly this summer. About books, skydiving, life in the capital of this country... about living on the border between two languages and two cultures. About how language shapes your identity, maybe.
We'll see.
À bientôt.

This is what I'm dealing with these days...
Le sens ou la signification d’un mot n’est pas la réalité qu’il désigne, mais la représentation mentale que l’on se fait de cette réalité, elle-même appelée référent par les linguistes.
Peu de mots sont monosémiques, c’est-à-dire pourvus d’un seul sens. La plupart sont polysémiques, c’est-à-dire pourvus de plusieurs sens. Chacun de ces sens s’appelle acception.
Le langage, ne pouvant avoir autant de mots qu’il y a d’objets à désigner ou d’idées à exprimer, doit suppléer à cette insuffisance en donnant à un même mot plusieurs sens.
(Le bon usage, 14e édition, section 202)
