School Work and Urban Planning

I'm essentially done with a six page lit review on urban stream daylighting. As much as I've said that I'm not interested in being an urban planner, I actually found the literature engaging. Though I also very much appreciated Sharon Moran's more unusual critical humanities perspective on stream restoration and the White privilege and environmental racism embodied in spatial inequalities in funding.

I ended up reading a couple of assessments of the Arcadia Creek project in Kalamazoo. My thanks to my älskling [livejournal.com profile] lisagems for originally pointing it out to me!

What do I have left to do this weekend? I need to do one more interview and write up a paper on perceptions of public space in Kenosha. I need to finish up my paper on the Tunguska Event, which I need to relax about 'cause it's just a 100-level gen-ed class, dammit. I need to start putting together a poster to present for my GIS project. And I need to make more progress on a grad school personal statement.

This weekend's sacrifice on the altar of education has been going out to photograph protests at the local Wal-Marts. But I do feel like things are under control and progressing. And soon I get to see [livejournal.com profile] danaeris, who'll be up for the weekend! It's a lot more fun to do academic work when I'm sitting next to somebody I can make snarky comments to. *smiles*
