How is your Germanic Linguistics prelim going? After a few hours of attacking mine without making notable progress, I'm reaching the conclusion that I really only have about one-eighth-of-an-idea what I'm doing on most things, but then again, I don't think I was ever under the illusion that I was going to do any better than that, anyway. ech. Historical linguistics has all the idiosyncratic, arbitrary fuzziness- ("Fooled you! If it looks like a class 1 weak verb, then it's definitely not a class 1 weak verb!")- of history, economics, and the humanities in general, except that the BS-friendly "there are no wrong answers" safety net does not apply. gah.
Well,.. It's a bit past 7:00 now, so I guess I should, uh, .. ee, sickpanics.
no subject
