Ready. Set. Go.
This week I officially started reading for my dissertation.
In some ways it seems silly to even say that, because in a sense, I've been doing a lot for the past several years with the direction of dissertation in mind. I guess that's even why I'm in grad school, to eventually write a diss.
But since I like making the little details of my life seem dramatic, I'm going to mark the spot dramatically. It begins this week.
I set out a reading program for myself with the direct goal of a proposal at the end of it.
In other points of high drama today, my watch stopped 5 minutes before I left the house this morning. Maybe my watch has a mile limit in a week. I had to come up to Baton Rouge an extra time yesterday for a really great presentation by x-super-famous-scholar on the music in silent film.
