Well it took me a year, but I’ve finally finished my major translation project for my masters. My translation of Osamu Tezuka’s Paper Fortress, an autobiographical manga based on his struggles to become a mangaka during and after the war. Including a 3000 word commentary the publication weighed in at 200 pages making it look like a phone book. Did I mention I need to submit TWO copies! It took me about half an hour to print out, my laser printer is now a smoldering heap and in need of counseling. Now I’ve just got to make two photocopies of the source material (probably another 200 pages) then, with the satisfaction of wiping out a quarter of a rain forest, I can hand this muther in.

Woot! I remember the joy/relief for honours – so you must be over the moon, right?! Or are you in a similar state to your laser printer?
