Ooooof. Busy week getting ready to start #gradschool and getting set up for my TA gig as a music library assistant. Back to my roots from the beginning of my career when I spent 4-5 years prepping, distributing, collecting, fixing, and filing sheet music. #conducting lessons are going well so far, about 10 days till I get myself in front of the #uvic wind symphony.

Both Michelle Boyd (Becoming the Writer You Already Are) & Helen Sword (Writing with Pleasure) talk abt the usefulness of having your own writing metaphor. When I first read Boyd, I decided mine was hiking. But overall hiking is enjoyable and currently, writing is a slog. So a new metaphor to tide me over:

🤔 "A random half of panelists were shown a CV and only a one-paragraph summary of the proposed #research, while the other half were shown a CV and a full proposal. We find that withholding proposal texts from panelists did not detectibly impact their proposal rankings"

Finally breaking my writer's block by getting angry enough at a methodological question raised during my candidacy exam that I want to prove my point.

I really think we underestimate spite as a motivator for graduate students.

#GOP Mega-donor Who Bought The Constitution Now Owns #Harvard’s #GradSchool
#Billionaire #KenGriffin is also a major funder of #RonDeSantis’ education plan, which has paved the way for #school #bookbans.

I was pretty down about the whole #dissertation proposal process though. Part of this was because everything seemed so unclear, even when I'd ask for guidelines. That lack of clarity also led to some critical #feedback.

So I reflect on feedback in #gradschool (again). This post is more... reflection I needed to process & get off my chest. Hits on #HiddenCurriculum themes again & #MentalHealth in grad school/while #dissertating.

I've found that the best thing to do when stuck (with anxiety or imposter syndrome or just writer's block) in the #dissertation process is to talk to someone else (that you haven't before) in your field/area about your ideas and outstanding questions.

Nothing motivates me like having a great chat with a colleague... and then hearing that they're excited to see where my work goes.
