Latest revision as of 19:12, 16 May 2014
The best thing about summer is getting to work on your own projects! The best thing about school is that deadlines, professors, and competitive friends hold you accountable, so thanks for being my accountability group this summer and keeping me from being lazy.
The first section is my running lists. Note that not all theory books have made it onto my syllabus yet, because I read them so slowly! My syllabus is the final section. I'd like accountability through check-ins. I'll be honest about what I have and haven't gotten done each time we meet. Because I process aloud, I'll also probably ask for opinions on organization, etc for talks and articles.
