Hey Tumblr,

Thanks in advance!!
Chasing a dream can be quite isolating, indeed.
Don't tell Twitter, but this week I graduated from St. Andrews and am now officially a Doctor of Philosophy! My thesis looked at Gaelic mythology and its relationship with national identity in modern Irish and Scottish literature (including Irish language texts). Humanities ftw!
Comhghairdeas mór to my superhero of a supervisor Pàdraig MacAoidh (Peter Mackay) who was also appointed as the Makar of Scotland this week! So very deserved.
How the last few weeks of the thesis got me feeling rn
A blogpost I wrote last year on such an underrated Irish writer!

PhD students over the summer “holidays”
It depends, I am doing my doctorate in archeology and I have mostly exams
I.. honestly had no idea you had finals when you're doing your doctorate. they never go away, do they.
It’s not final exams, it’s final papers. Most seminar courses (of which we take five, plus four other courses, over three semesters) will require an “article-length” paper, which usually means 20-25 pages.
