Okay, there are no secrets. I just thought that I would take you along on what’s now my typical day. I spend a lot of time in the library, and it’s usually the only place I really go outside of Loring Hall. My thesis work is coming along, though. I have 34 pages of Chapter 1 written; I’ve divided it (for myself) into six sections, of which two have complete drafts, by which I mean the whole section is written out in generally the way I want it to be, and all the footnotes/references have been researched and inserted. A lot of the work on the other four sections has also been done. I hope to be finished entirely with the first draft of the chapter by the time the Baxters come out here. Then I need to put it aside for a bit and maybe have some volunteers read it and give me their thoughts; I know if I keep working on it without a break I will do what I always end up doing, and just move things around and rewrite things without making any real changes or improvements.
Anyway, I have an album up of pictures I took during my morning in the library today. Today is Sunday, so there’s no one around (I only saw one other person all morning). This morning I got the second of the two sections completed, so it was fairly productive, even though the pictures will show that I had a lot of trouble tracking down books. Pictures are here.
