Tomorrow I think I need to focus on getting a bit of work done. That’s not to say that I don’t get work done on other days, because I do, but I have a seminar paper to research and write, and it won’t get done without making a concerted effort. I need to spend tomorrow:
- finishing up my overview of secondary sources on the topic
- finding/evaluating/checking out/beginning to go through primary sources available locally
- locating and requesting primary sources not available locally
Of course, that’s just for my seminar. For my readings course I need to–that’s right–read, and there’s a few other things for other courses.
On top of that, I’m spending this semester familiarizing myself with current literature on German colonialism and imperialism so I can begin to figure out what direction(s) I want to go for my masters essay and later my dissertation. I’m not complaining by any means. It’s more like I’m trying to keep track of what I have to do and get myself motivated.
