Nov. 16th, 2008 08:38 pmPro: I successfully used L'Année Philogique tonight! And by successfully, I mean that I tracked down the citation for an article I think I need with only the author's name (the title, anthology, and publication year that I had been given were all wrong).
Con: The article is in German (okay, so I knew this). Also unavailable from my library, or any of the associated libraries.
Pro: But it is in the library at Giant State U, so my dad can scan it an e-mail it to me.
Con: It's still in German.
Pro: I can practice my German, yay!
Con: But it's 20 pages. Of academic German prose. And my German has faded away into from very poor to non-existent.
Pro: But maybe they will quote a lot of Latin. And I can always put it off and read it over Christmas.
Con: AHHHH MY CONCERT IS IN 5 DAYS AND I HAVE A COLD AND I CAN'T PLAY LOW NOTES AT ALL FOR SOME REASON, AND...AHHHH
