Week Two

(a little bit late, but better now than never)

Week Two was a little easier to account for, because it basically revolved round one major issue - The Project. I even got to skip lessons so that I had time to work on The Project. And my, my! The number of guidebooks I read so that I could churn out something vaguely intelligent and intelligible.

There was, however, a problem.


That was not what they were looking for. Maybe I've been sort of an armchair critic for too long, and not attuned to ground conditions. In any case, it was deemed to highly imaginative and indigestible. Geez.

To add insult to injury, the pared down version was just - in my honest opinion - absolutely belittling. It basically masqueraded the day-to-day Standard Operating Procedures as an intensive workshop. To me, that really wasn't quite useful, both in the short run (in dealing with the present situation) and in the long run ('posterity').

Perhaps I am too divorced from reality. But why should we artificially impose boundaries upon our own - and more importantly, that of others' - achievements?
