Productive days
Nov. 28th, 2012 03:53 pmYesterday I worked more than waht is really good for me, but it was mostly fun and I got a lot done. First I held a seminar with the students at our course on the history of fashion 1850-2000, where they presented short papers. The papers were good and so was the discussion, so I left feeling uplifted and good. Then I had lunch with my friend and colleague dr Carina Gråbacke, who was going to talk to them in the afternoon; about the Swedish fashion "wonder"; among other things.
Then I was supposed to start making the suggested changes in an article I've written on the attitude towards and the existance of foregin fashion and fashionable goods in 17th century Sweden, but then I ran into some friends who were going to a guest lecture with dr Peter Forshaw from the Amsterdam University and it sounded so interesting that I joined them. It was about the study of Western esotericism and was really fascinating.
It lasted until a quarter past three and then I had to sit down and make thoise changes. I wasn't finished until half past five, but I feel very good about having done it.
Today I went to a meetign at Valeria's school and then I made some emergency changes in the aforementioned article, since it turned out that someone else in the same book was using the same portrait. Finally I wrote an application for amonth of paid leave so that I can work on an application for funding for a research project. Now we have paid our bills and I have made birthday cake, so I can sit down with a cup of tea and listen to The Lord of the Rings before my sister, BIL, their kids, my stepdad and our neighbours come over.
