Congratulations to ellet. This afternoon she successfully defended an excellent Master's thesis and will, in just a few weeks, be awarded the degree Master of Arts. It was a hard-fought defense--especially with that old bastard continually harassing her about her Latin--but she overcame with grace and a tremendous amount of competence. Well done.

ellet, you now have only 77 days before you sit for the Ph.D. entrance exams.

Study your Latin.

Asking questions about my Latin translations - expected

Asking text-critical questions about my Greek translations - tough but not unexpected

Asking text-critical questions about my Greek translations in Latin and expecting the answer to be given in Latin - bastardly

Congratulations.  I know how hard it can be to get a Masters.

Enjoy your success.
