lost

I feel a bit lost with the 1000 word draft set for this week. I’m used to having a plan for an entire paper which becomes more and more detailed, and constantly rearranged as new research is found and then filling in the gaps towards the end as I’m about to hand it in. Whenever I sit down to write it feels like a complete waste of time and uncontrolled jibberish is all that appears on my screen.

Onto happier topics, last week was very productive in lots of ways as I had a meeting with a few of the people who will be involved in the project and some others as its seems that it is the right time for this project to happen. There is this ground swell of interest at them moment, people are hearing about the William Cooper’s work and wanting to see something come of it. Its really wonderful to see and to be a part of. Although I can’t publically say anything at this time, I think the radio project is just one part of great things to happen in Victoria throughout this year.

Last week was a confidence boost in other ways as well; at an ABC breakfast I felt for the first time that I have some meaningful opinions to offer in a discussion around media and the future. I think as an undergrad and as an Honours student its beaten into us that we have no authority and can only justify a point of view based on other people’s arguments. I went to the event thinking I would have very little to say, that I would be way out of my depth but I think I found myself to be an active participant in the discussion which was a fantastic feeling.

Well, best get back to the words…
