Don't strike me

It's been a while since I've posted anything, but no worries my project is still underway. I have four student interviews, three and a half have been transcribed. FOUR? I bet you're freaking out and thinking I'm an intense ethnographer. They're actually pretty short, 20-30 min long. After I went back and listened to them, I feel like there were a lot of missed opportunities in each interview. I am planning on having follow up interviews, that is if time permits no only for I, but most importantly for my interviewees. I also want to interview one of my professors, since they're experienced and all. I don't know something about being a professor and having taught several courses? I'll talk to my Spanish professor today.

I have found a couple of articles from JSTOR and will soon find myself digging through the library for books diversify my sources.

I haven't typed any of my field notes, but that is one Goal number one for this week.

Our discussion in class yesterday, was really interesting. One statement that particularly stood out was when Claudia said something along the lines of "There are so many lines/boundaries within Anthropology that's it's easy to cross them." These lines include ethics, morals, and the different types of Anthro, but, psha, who needs them? HA, I kid. They seem pretty important. I hope the Anthro god/spirits don't strike me.
