I have done a TERRIBLE job at keeping up with my documentation and post-meeting notes, so I apologize in advance for the incoming influx of posts catching up from my notebook to the Thesis journal.

HERE WE GO!

I was able to get a lot of great new resources after speaking with the team about finalizing our proposals

two new resources I received included a past thesis project that relates to mine:

Thanks to Nun, Zoe, Jamie, and Dora for talking through the progress, and bouncing ideas and resources my way. I appreciated the personal feedback/experiences folks shared as they related to my topic and the areas of embodied experience. I’ve added some of these to my starter bibliography board.

Studio Visit / Intro Meeting

I’m very thankful for the makeup session this morning and the opportunity to have the shared brainstorming session. I was paired with the lovely Jamie McCoy, who has been a constant support/brainstorming partner for me through this program. Hence, we already have a baseline/comfort level in discussing and directing our ideas, so we were able to get off to the races and have a productive conversation. I was super enthusiastic not only to receive but share feedback with Jamie; it is exciting to see our ideas spark and take shape visually on our Miro boards and see the throughlines of interests from previous classwork converge. I know it will be a lot of work, but I look forward to this process and producing/distilling the proposal.

Looking Thesis square in the face with Liz Lemon levels of enthusiasm and stress eating.
