ahhh it has been a little bit, but I wanted to make sure that this didn’t die towards the end of the semester since I’m working on the paper/presentation, ironing out details, adding things, refining ideas and topics, etc. basically the thesis is on my mind everyday but frankly I’m really excited about and I […]

after talking with Jason and Andres about my raw thesis idea they gave me wonderful feedback. but its all scattered in my notebook, so I’m just going to organize the questions and notes here.
!! Why are you doing this? !!
What is it about these other things, to be involved in or desire another person’s culture? […]

not something to be done often…or at all…but I had a stroke of genius while I was driving back to school tonight about thesis. If you can read them yay, but its more for me since I had to use a notebook for something else and I’ll have to return it to my car later.

I’ve decided on at least some concrete things about what the physical manifestation of my thesis will have/be. I want there to be some dialog between the dual existence of cultures in someone/or place. Almost like a confusion of source and identity.
