#dissertation work

I sent my chapter (what of it I had) to my advisor on June 30 -- he sent it back to me today. I was not prepared for the turnaround to be that quick.

He seems to be pulling me in a more theoretical direction -- encouraging me to take that jump. It would be a dream, but it's also terrifying.

I'm still processing what this might look like and what the possibilities and implications are. We shall see how this changes the scope of the dissertation, and how brave I'm willing to be.

updated, based on @pomrania‘s feedback :P  But yeah - it’s still rubbish!

I’m rummaging around in archives for photographs of radio use which - while mainly boring - sometimes produces gems like this.

Just three gal pals listening to some tunes.

I don't know if it's because I decided to stay home today, if it's the extra vitamin D supplements I took to make up for my deficit, if it's the impending spring, or a combination of all three, but I had a great morning. After waking, I did a yoga practice, taking some some extra time on the mat to stretch out muscles and areas that needed a little extra love. I then had a glass of kefir with honey, made coffee, and put on a few MuchelleB videos while I sat with my planner. When I was ready, I showered and got ready for the day, and now I'm sitting down for a more proper breakfast.

Next, I'll launch into the fellowship application I was working on last night, and that's due Sunday. I really need this kind of funding -- and then outside funding after that, just to keep myself paying bills while I finish.

I had a phone meeting with my advisor yesterday, and I think it was the best meeting we've ever had. That, coupled with that fresh-from-a-conference feeling, is making me so excited to continue working.
