Assessment of yesterday's goals and implications for today's goals:  

I got 2 of those 3 chapters read and took notes on them, but then I received by email a draft of a conference proposal from my research team that I had to give feedback on (it's due today!) that took up half the camp time, so I will read and take notes on the third chapter today.

I spend hours last night printing out emails related to recent committee meetings about writing across the curriculum from 2020 and 2021.  It was exhausting to read them and made me realize how difficult it will be to explain the chaos and confusion of meeting- and proposal-mania to outsiders. I don't want to do more of that printing out today, but maybe I can put the emails in chronological order. I did put them in their own folder.

I worked on my creative writing this morning and need to revise a narrative so that place is prominent and the narrative is organized in place-driven scenes, so I will do that after I finish reading and taking notes on my chapter.  

I'm going to the archives in Special Collections in the Main Library today, which is exciting for me.  I hope I can find the committee report by Marleigh Ryan that I need. I will also pick up a folder of materials from an English professors, Carl Klaus, recently deceased, that my colleague lent me related to the 1979-80 NEH seminars. The plan would be to look at those materials tomorrow.
