Professors Christopher Jones (C) and Will Straw (McGill) are my heroes. They've published some recent articles on popular music in Quebec which have been really reassuring. (I don't know how I didn't see these before... I was so concerned with understanding the broad basics of history and ethnomusicology that I don't think I realized that that will all come in time and I can always reference it if I need to.) I guess it makes me more sure about what I'm doing--that it's possible, important, legitimate. Coming from a background of high school science fairs it's a big step for me.
5 days until I ship off to Montreal! This is insane. I have so much to do... besides actually doing the research, I have a History of Music class I haven't worked on since the end of May, interning at International Action, and being a social, human being. And let's not even mention the biology 206 work I'm supposed to be doing/have done (in my defense, I didn't find the book until about 2 weeks ago).
La folie, that's the word. N'importe quoi folie, toute folie.
