this blog hasn't been particularly research-focused for three reasons, 1) research is still on-going and fluid, 2) it's probably not super interesting to be super technical with you all, 3) i'm already thinking and worrying about stuff enough.
but for a brief glimpse into the mind of the researcher/inner sixteen year old girl, two poems:
if i had but known...
20 pages, back and front
black and white
checked and unchecked
it would have been so easy
for so many hours
if i had dared
had pushed
if she had remembered
ah, but for a printer
a copier
a paper
a response
human errors, narrow opportunities
raindrops chase each other across the window
fields unfurl before us- green to gold and brown
for a moment it is tempting
to compare with drives in the midwest
the similar scene of many childhood trips
watching water chase and envelope itself
but then we reach a village and all is strange again
the songs
the petrol stations
red, green, pink roofs
gers, stove pipes, fences, herds
хөтөл
(passage)
3 weeks exactly left! Tomorrow I shall attempt to get my exit stamp, and on Sunday I'm going borrow a friend's vacuum to trial pack most of my clothes and winter coat. I'll try to take some full-on winter gear shots before it goes into the duffel bag.
Until next time, an early Happy 4th of July!
