Finding myself back home in the middle of summer after a wonderful field school adventure to Paris and Documenta, I am finishing up one last summer class and then setting out for the year ahead on sabbatical. In many ways, I am tremendously excited, and in other ways I am quite anxious. Being a creature of habit and routine, I have wondered how I will fill the days and weeks that are carefully plotted around the university semester. Will I waste time? Can I find the external motivation to complete the projects I have planned out for the year? Will I miss the classroom? It reminds me very much of the feelings I had in the final years of my Ph.D. when I worked more or less in isolation, with only myself to rely on for a schedule and the ability to meet distant deadlines. I am easing into the idea of it all, and trusting that the constancy of this blog will be a way to keep connected to the world outside my research and projects. In the meantime, I am planning to enjoy the rest of my summer and pick up with the weekly round up now that the field school bloggers have all had a turn in the spotlight. Grab a cool summer drink and enjoy the links!
