have missed some more, i think. damn night shift. or lack of organization. or laziness. something.

first: paper for Chicana/o //Latina/o Film Studies: analysis of Real Women Have Curves using historical context and concentrating on the soundtrack used in the film. which might be crazy. but the songs
1. Chica Dificil (Aterciopelados)
2. No Le Hace (Banda Llaneros)
3. Que Rico El Mambo (PiRez Prado)
4. Voy A Quitarme El Anillo Norteqo (Marisela)
5. Perdida (Trio Los Panchos)
6. Si En Un Final (Eliades Ochoa)
7. La Niqa (Lila Downs)
8. Luto (Aterciopelados)
9. Aqui No Sera
10. Tenemos La Culpa (Banda Llaneros)
11. Vuelta De Hoja (Grupo Caricias)
12. Felicidades (Jose Zamora,Manuel Edgar Lujan)
seem to me important somehow.

I need to ground my review of the movie in the era of the late 80's early 90's, and something about Latina/Chicana feminism and fat acceptance/weight issues/eating disorders at that time... i need more time, more focus, and less curiosity *(keep reading when i need to be taking notes, compiling, winnowing down)*

second: keep reading Native American Studies coursework [mid-term is on chapters 1-10 of our primary text, luckily very interesting book that is giving me a new perspective about pre-contact Native culture, ecology, economies, and religions and how that changed post-contact (or post-rolling-waves-of-contact-influence, including diseases, non-native plants and animals, and world-economies)].

third: keep working on paper for Critical Thinking- have finally separated out the original student's sentences into trains of thought, now must find the arguments in them and diagram and analyze same. then respond to those in my own diagrammed and analyzed paper.

hell. all i need to do is do NOTHING ELSE for two days out of every 7 for the next 12 weeks, and i should be ok.

*keeps chipping away at the weeks to get the damn 2 days in one place instead of in an hour here and two there and never at the same time each week*

ETA Thank you to poetic_self for sitting through this morning's sorting out of this paper, to stormatdusk for support, and for pferde for hanging in there with me. really. it should not be this hard to write a 5 page paper.

work, friends, lj, pedtm, study, uni
