choosing a project
Sometimes it’s difficult to decide what you’d like to work on for a semester project. Do you prefer dealing with many texts or do you like speculations cobbled from outlying sources? Are you the sort of person who worries about the potential of your project to lead to other projects? I’m faced with two seminars this semester that set out broad and narrow parameters, respectively, and I’m going to have to make a choice about them soon. I’m trying to spend a good deal of time thinking about these things because I prefer that school keep me distracted from a number of other things at the moment. Perhaps I will sublimate my anxieties by building projects that address those anxieties peripherally. That might be a challenge in this case. There’s a lot going on. So much going on
