La Belle et la Bouffe: how food runs my life in the South of France

Youpi!

My mémoire is done. Fini. Bound at Kinko's last night and sent off this a.m. for a tidy little sum that will get it to my prof and the other jury member in 3-5 days (USPS time).

I misspelled my prof's name in the bibliography and had to correct it by hand with black ink minutes before mailing. There are probably myriad other mistakes, but I'm happy and proud.
Now I won't think about it until the night of September 12th, before my defense the next day.

I'm optimistic that someday soon my braincells will rejuvenate and I will be able to write a mildly interesting post. Until then, bonnes vacances - I'm really on holiday!!

Did you enjoy your meal?

I really appreciate the word of congratulations, maitresse - it does feel great to have finished this paper.
The subject of my mémoire (M1) is ancient Greek literature: the portrait of Themistocles from Herodotus to Plutarch. Doesn't sound too exciting, but Themistocles led a pretty sensational life!
