Concatenated Crepitations

Meeting with GK went surprisingly well, and it seems I have the old boy's imprimatur for my thesis. The thesis has been officially approved by the department, as well; now, I need to form a panel. There is hope to bring in one particularly esteemed doyenne of medievalism who might be able to help contextualise my argument more soundly. One member must come from outside the English Department, and it seems wisest to choose a historian; and I believe that one has already been appointed. I am really not sure how all these people are supposed to coordinate; I do feel, however, that getting these people assembled is going to really help me focus.

I had to let my coach know that I can't continue to pay him. Of course, I also can't accept his help without paying him, as I had been doing previously; therefore, I am, once again, in charge of my own training. Usually, when responsible for my own endeavours, whether they be athletic or academic, I have a tendency to slack and rely on talent. However, the way the thesis and training have sort of thematically dovetailed (I am largely now accountable, in each, only to myself) is interesting. I am very much looking forward to the challenge. It's interesting to me how I react when I am responsible to please only myself, instead of others. I must admit that I am very much given to self-definition and validity through others. I must look into that more deeply.

Time to excillate the exogenous redivivifications. Shred it. \m/ \m/
