Kleidarotrypa

Kleidarotrypa is Greek for keyhole. This blog is a keyhole to everything that is on its other side.

Aufwiedersehen, adios and goodbye

This is an emotional post, as it is the last one of this blog.

I have decided to suspend my, already infrequent, writing in kleidarotrypa. Contrary to what I hoped, I didn't manage to create a clear identity of this blog. Perhaps that particularly period of my life (trying to finish a PhD) has affected it in a rather negative way.

However, kleidarotrypa has been my first blog and I will always remember it nostalgically. Deep down I haven't lost hope about it, therefore I am not deleting it from the blogosphere. I just stop writing; as in a mode of suspension. Perhaps one day it will resume its life, or not; but it would't be any time soon.

My last piece of (very exciting) news: From September onwards I will be in Manchester, lecturing and researching at the Centre for Museology. My dreams are coming true...

So, that's it then. Many kisses and warm hugs to my very few readers.

Stay cool; stay brave.

Aufwiedersehen, adios and goodbye,

Kostas.

Writing Up


I am only a few weeks away from falling from the sky...that is from submitting my thesis. I still have bits to write, other to edit, some to drop, some others to add. Surprisingly, I am not too stressed about it; in fact, I could even say I am now enjoying writing more than before...yes, I know I should go to see a doctor...But, it's so refreshing to see words finally formulating your abstract ideas, paragraphs getting together to build up an argument and pages making sections of your thesis...

What I need though to keep in my mind is that this is a 'thesis': that is, in the end of the day, I need to make my standpoint or my big or small idea clear to the reader...not to mention also to me...

The final countdown then...
