Post 1: Plan for 11/4-11/10

The goal for this week is to compile what I have and figure out how to unify all of the elements of my project. Is there something that I want to say that I haven’t said with any of the papers/elements? What would be the best way for me to say these things?

I need to acquire a binder and hard copies of all works looking to be included. Start composing music again—everyday! Try to alternate between practice suite/lab. Brainstorm thesis ideas for music/academic element…look for notes in notebooks.

Update Gipson blog every day!

WHAT AM I TRYING TO SAY WITH MY PROJECT AS A WHOLE? WHAT IS ITS CENTER OF GRAVITY?

WHAT IS THE FINAL PROJECT GOING TO LOOK LIKE?—a series of interlinked essays interrupted by poetry and music (?)

Personally, I need to be reading more poetry. I should submit to two more journals this week.

Other necessary reading?: Listening to the Sirens: Musical Technologies of Queer Identity from Homer to Hedwig by Judith Peraino.

What I wish I could read?: The Sea, the Sea by Iris Murdoch

Other goals that may get in the way of these: finishing an appropriate draft of my SOP and sending it to Dora/Scott. Finishing my CV. Making sure everything is kosher with my recommenders.

What I am going to do before bed tonight: READ (and not Iris Murdoch. Peraino.)
