Just thought you should know. I’m wrapping up my second year, completed all my course work, working on my hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓, ʔəy̓ tə nə šxʷqʷeləwən. Hopefully I will write my comprehensive exams in September and defend my research proposal in October.
I’m going to do a little series of letters to authors in response to my comprehensive exam reading lists, but only *after* my exams are finished.
I’m struggling a bit, when everything feels important, trying to balance the desire to capture all essential information with the desire to rush through and complete the product (my annotations).
Regardless of my emotional state and the crazy shit going down in the world, I’m working hard to hold on to the fact that I am incredibly privileged to be working on my own research nestled within my community.
This is my face.
