Burn Notice

Today, I looked through the blogs for my class, and if I had to code them, there would be one significant correlating aspect: burn out. That seems to be the theme going into our last few weeks and I am not immune from it either. I've hit a stall in my project, and I have to figure out how to hit drive once again.

Currently I am stuck in bringing it all together. I have all the pieces there, but I do not know how the entire project is going to come together. Looking at my own previous blogs, perhaps I will get a sense of where this project needs to head to.

The idea that I have in my mind is that I want this project to fill in the gaps of where history seems to be missing from the SWCA context. Unfortunately, I do not know if I have found the material to fill in those gaps. I hope that I have, and perhaps I am just not seeing it, but at this point I'm just wandering the desert on a horse with no name.

So, let's get this sh . . . stuff together:

- I am done with Multimodal 1. I need to finish Multimodal 2 and update the text boxes in it. I need to start Multimodal 3.

- I have transcribed three out of five interviews. I need to code them all.

- I need to schedule interviews with the founding members of the SWCA.

- The ARP needs to be worked on. Specifically, the methodology section and perhaps get a head start on the works cited page.

- I need to make sure the SWCA survey is distributed and I have results by at least November 26th or I will not have time to include it in my poster presentation and my ARP.

- I have notes for the observation. A complete draft needs to be created.

- The poster presentations are in two weeks, so pretty much all of this list needs to be completed in that time span for me to have any chance of finishing my project.

OMG!

Did I mention I'm burnt out?
