Something I thought about:
- I’m finally getting a chance to catch up on some Bishop scholarship, and it feels like revisiting an old friend. I read a couple of papers I really enjoyed, and I have a good queue of papers and edited collections ahead of me. It’s taken time to get here — to close things out, deal with medical issues, etc. — but I’ve really appreciated having extended periods of time to read and to think.
Something I did:
- PT
- Meetings
- More paperwork
- Some light web work
- I read a lot — much of it outside
- Watched World Cup games
- Went out with friends
- Went to dinner on the North Shore
Something I read:
- Eureka by Victoria Chang
- More of the Rockton series by Kelley Armstrong (on audio)
- The Situation and the Story by Vivian Gornick
- Elizabeth Bishop and the Music of Literature, edited by Angus Cleghorn
