I hate our school email system SO MUCH
Soooooo it turns out that I did get revisions requested back on my thesis... and I didn't notice for a week because a) the email got eaten by the school's really bad spam filter despite the account creation and confirmation emails getting through and b) the spam filter didn't send me an email about eating it like it usually does (no, our email system does not just have a spam folder, you have to either get an alert email or check it manually on another site - yes, our email system is inexcusably terrible and still doesn't work on mobile, either). They told me that 'some' of my page numbers 'appeared' to be at the wrong height - not only are they all at the same position, I took out a measuring tape and verified that it's the height they're supposed to be, so dunno wtf that's about - but they were right about my citations being fucked up.
So I spent at least six hours straight working on my reference section by hand, wheee. I ended up removing one altogether because I'm, ah, not sure it was actually published at the conference where it was said to be published. Like, the paper exists, I have it on my hard drive, but it's not listed in the conference's proceedings, and nobody else who cited it has page numbers for it, so... not sure what was happening there.
Anyway, I felt very bad about the fact that I took a lot longer to return it than I was supposed to (I started as soon as I saw them!) and have been checking its status on the submission site since. No dice yet, but since the deadline for submissions just passed, they're probably a lot busier now.
Though figure skating news is currently pretty dour (Rusfed has very rapidly moved to tie with USAG on my personal list of Burn It Down), I apparently taught someone that Ina Bauers are named after Ina Bauer. It tickles me that there still exists footage of her doing them! I am also jealous of her spread eagles. I'm still struggling to get a t-stop on one side.... And in other happy FS news, Fleur Maxwell apparently came out at least back in April :D That makes five whole out elite women!
Otherwise, I'm playing some games and working on writing - mostly my FTH auction piece, now that I feel like I can write something long that isn't my thesis again. We'll see what I'll get finished once that is done.
