Feeling a little stressed
A list of all the things I have going on/coming up...
Thus why I have not followed up on Bharatnatyam dance lessons in Mitaka or, well, much of anything really. I've been pretty unsuccessful finding good, easy-to-understand (pseudo)academic sources on semiotics, body language, stereotypical attractive behaviour for the Shoji Class project. Today the library is closed, so I have to cut 250 pages into 500 separate surveys myself. And I need to really study and *learn* all the grammar and vocabulary of the last week and a half and practice my pronunciation. I need to find sources with which to write my share of the Sarai abstract, as a lot of the stuff I want to use is in Texas, where I won't be until after the abstract is due. Speaking of being in Texas, Fall is apparently *the* time to go to Kyoto, but I guess I'll have to put that off 'til next year... well, it's probably for the best, for the sake of the Sarai paper and because I could really use some Indian/Assamese food and pizza (though maybe not at the same time). And if Chris, Stu, Hideto, and I are really going to get this band thing off the ground, we need to write lyrics and rehearse regularly. Oh, and did I mention that I'm supposed to be doing the research that the ITO Foundation is paying me to do?!!!
- Third Big Test (Wednesday)
- Sarai abstract (within the week)
- Get a re-entry permit and a plane ticket (this week)
- Shoji class project (pick up surveys Friday, outside reading and presentation for 4 Nov)
- Hopefully meeting Ueda-sensei and Nobuko-san next weekend
- Fourth Big Test and Final Exam two days in a row
- Sarai paper (due 31 Dec)
- Manga reading for ITO project
- Literary theory/criticsm for ITO project
- KoSoADo(ASoKo), the "band" with Chris, Stu, Hideto-san (learning covers, writing music/lyrics, rehearsing)
