Doubleclass day was good!
Jay
yaaaaay
Mouth Powers
Professor H really liked the unorthodox writing piece I submitted for this week's course blog, so yay again
Mouth Powers
tomorrow I am gonna go do a SCARY thiNG and meet with my nominal advisor/project mentor for my masters capstone who I have constantly avoided meeting because I was behind on my research for it ahhhhhhhhhhhhHHHHHHH
Mouth Powers
and I need him to sign a thing so I can be registered for classes next semester AHHHHHH
Mouth Powers
and what if he says my project is fundamentally incoherent or facile and insufficient for a masters degree and I can't graduate AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Mouth Powers
but I just have to go in and be honest about the state of things
Jay
You can do it! <3
Mouth Powers
I think I DO have a really good and serious project and a sense of the shape of it and the work I need to do
Mouth Powers
and I just have to be upfront about what I've accomplished so far and what remains
Mouth Powers
and then I'll have all this week to play a bit of catch up and do the next draft of this scholarly context paper
Mouth Powers
esp if I get some other reading tonight
Mouth Powers
I considered trying to mainline 300 pages of marxist critique tomorrow and meeting him on thursday but that's a terrible idea
Mouth Powers
and tomorrow is his office hours so I'm going to stop putting it off and jsut go
Mouth Powers
anyway I had nothing to eat all day except Many Coffee, a few bites of cheese and chorizo, and one (excellent, free) chocolate macaroon but I came home and made myself spicerub pork and cinnamon carrots
Mouth Powers
and now I'm roasting like five more batches of curry cauliflower to have on hand
Mouth Powers
and I got more olive oil so I could do that thing
Mouth Powers
Further Tonight Goals: to finish the reading for EITHER Class 1 or Class 2
Mouth Powers
so that I'm Extra Ahead
Mouth Powers
put away one (1) load of laundry
Mouth Powers
finish said cauliflower
Mouth Powers
make AT LEAST one post, probably Dillon's
Mouth Powers
do a couple Jedao tags
Mouth Powers
pick up the stack of books that fell over and have been strewn across my room for like a month
Mouth Powers
replace the light bulb that just burnt out
Mouth Powers
OH ALSO on delicious news
Mouth Powers
I put some fancy cucumber mint lemonade that I picked up free at a school symposium thing into blueberry pomegranate juice
Mouth Powers

Mouth Powers
Tuesday Ambition was frankly a silly idea
Jay
Tuesday is hell day, Tuesday night needs to be rest night
Jay
and you made the foods
Mouth Powers
I did!
Mouth Powers
AHHHHHHHHHH I went to Mentor's office hours despite being super nervous about not communicating yet
Mouth Powers
and it went really well he thinks the project works well and has good momentum and his questions were kind of - not difficult to answer but difficult to work through? in a way that was really helpful for clarifying exactly what I'm trying to do
Mouth Powers
so that will help my context paper
Mouth Powers
/gently breathes
Ptriciadactyl
yaaaaaay, go you!
Ptriciadactyl
Mouth Powers
and like
Mouth Powers
it's great because part of why I was so nervous was that when I talked to him in the spring he was like
Mouth Powers
'okay this is interesting but you don't really have a coherent approach rn'
Mouth Powers
and it felt like You Might Not Find One And Your Project Might Be Nonfunctional
Mouth Powers
but now that I've had this feedback and made some plans I feel a lot more comfortable that I'm going to be working with him all next semester
Mouth Powers
he asked such good questions
Ptriciadactyl
That's AWESOME. It's really great when someone knows how to draw new developments and ideas out.
Ptriciadactyl
Exactly the sort of person who's best to have advising on a big project.
Jay
So glad it went well and you're feeling confident and enthused now!
Mouth Powers

Mouth Powers

Mouth Powers

Jay
