Dan



Thanks for helping out y'all! My syllabus feels like a lot right now, so if I drop a couple readings don't be mean to me. Also, I'll probably end up adding at least a few articles/readings once my Watson stuff gets more underway. So just overall, my syllabus is subject to change as the summer moves forward.

Things to Do
1. Read books

2. PhD applications

3. Watson Presentation

4. CCCC Proposal

Accountability
For the most part, I think I just need people to ask me about what I'm reading and what I'm working on. I plan on spending a lot of time reading anyway, so I don't think I'll have trouble getting stuff read, but it'll be good to have to explain what I'm reading so that I make sure I'm thinking about it critically. For PhD application stuff, I expect I'll have specific questions about those things (CV, personal statement, etc.) when we are looking at them, so I'll worry about that later. For the Watson/CCCC stuff, I just want to make sure that my ideas aren't just totally bonkers. I think I get concerned about conference stuff sometimes because there's no authority figure to check me if I'm going off the deep end (not that that's ever happened, but I worry) and so I think I'll probably take advantage of you guys to make sure I'm staying within the bounds of reasonable thought. So overall, I think 90% of the help is just going to be having a time and place in which I have to talk about what I'm doing. Thanks!
