Bede, Bacon, and (the spirit of) time

I finished my History of Science paper. It’s about a bunch of priests who either

• mess with the calendar, for religious reasons
• absolutely DO NOT mess with the calendar, for religious reasons

It’s twice the set length because I couldn’t choose between Bede and Bacon. But I told my prof that he can ask me to re-write it and I’ll still make the deadline… albeit in the Julian calendar.

Writing a paper with absolutely zero formulas (okay, maybe one or two) was an interesting experience. Because of my appreciation of looming deadlines I had to write part of it in-between choir rehearsal and Evensong – which meant I wrote it in cassock. Bede would have approved (except for that he wouldn’t have liked my woman-ness. He probably thought science would upset my fluids or something. I survived though- and that while the water was turned off in the Presbytery and we couldn’t visit the toilet). 

And I honestly couldn’t remember the title of my blog after I finished. Maybe it did upset my fluids.

You can read the uncorrected version through paperGNW. It’s in Dutch. Don’t even think of using an automatic translator, I worked too hard to have it mangled like that. I’ll translate it when I have some free time*.

It also uses an indisputably obscene amount of commas and footnotes**. 

I’m not content with it :( I could have done better…***

*HAHAHAhah… oh.
**Would you have expected anything else? 
***Given infinite time. And chocolate :D
