spring break list

Priority:

• read 3 essays and take notes for next monday's class
• read Paley's Enormous Changes at the Last Minute for monday
• research prep work for Carver presentation for next tuesday-- read NYT articles and book reviews.
• email prof about presentation topic and ask questions
• write statement for scholarship due next week
• begin writing thoughts down for the synthesis paper in cultural crit.
• scribble ideas for PoMo class

think about:

• prospectus for cultural crit: Coover and Carter comparison, or lesbian vampire short story? maybe work on a film?
• read criticism for Carter and C0over
• read postmodernism criticism -- Jameson?
• prospectus for Carver: voyeurism and desire, or "queer" readings of a few stories? must decide on stories to focus on.
• read Carver country, plus books reviews and journal articles, voyeurism in Carver.

hanging over my head:

• one presentation remaining
• 3 final papers (technically 4, because of the synthesis paper!)
• look for a summer JOB. gah!

what I would like to read for leisure but unlikely:

• Fanny Hill
• Metastases of Enjoyment
• essay by Berlant in Left Critique

Sigh. Of course, I hope to be productive this week, but in between happy hour, season 5 of the Sopranos, maybe History of Violence and laundry, well, we'll see how much I get done. I'm going to try to get myself to work in the cafe in the afternoons and see how that fairs.
