jhameia- I think... I'm done this prospectus draft. I just put together the bibliography for it and I'm going to re-read it tomorrow for smoothness then forward it to my dissertation chair.
- I also had a chat with Dr. BZ about my prospectus and she seemed so thrilled by it, she said, "I can already see it being published, it sounds so great" and I couldn't help but ask if she wanted to be on my dissertation committee. I'd wanted to finish the prospectus first then forward it but oh well. So I will do that. She's very committed to getting me to doing some fashion theory which I think will be fun... there's an English seminar in spring which will also be doing some fashion theory so I want to sit in on that too.
- I have a tab open to customink.com because I want a shirt that reads "When I grow up I wanna be just like Yuri Kochiyama".
- Today was an oddly full evening.
5pm I went to the Asian Pacific Student Programs office to join their roundtable. I met the moderator and he was so taken with my research he changed the topic to Asian representation in SF and literature. It's the last meeting of the quarter so apparently there are usually more people. So I'll try to keep going next quarter and see how it is. It was very nice to meet them though... Asian undergrads.
6pm Geoff Ryman's talk was really fun! He was reading some script he wrote about a cat that decided to follow his astronaut human to the rocketship, and it was a musical, so he was half-singing, and doing little dances, and it was wonderful. Wish I got to hang out some more.
7pm GSA meeting. The Israel BDAS team and a detractor both presented and it was a bit weirdly silent in the council room for a while. IDK how that is going to go. But voting is tomorrow so we'll see what the turnout is.
8pm went to a panel on Ferguson that was pulled together very last-minute, but it was really well-attended and intense. I don't even know when it ended.
- Generally I don't think I've been sleeping well due to nasal congestion. Not sure what I shall do... go back to using Nasonex? Flonase? Hmmm.... I'll pop to the pharmacy to see.
