February: Progress Update

In Reflections on February 1, 2010 at 9:07 am

(In summary? Busy. Next blog.)

January arrived with a bang as I adjusted back to the non-holiday schedules. As you have noticed, I haven’t posted much in that month, and what I did post had more to do with my school assignments than anything interesting to share. I attribute that to the extremely successful SPO concert that ate up a lot of my time (but provided a lot of reading opportunities during rehearsal), the reading heavy courses I am taking (Research methods and a reading course on knowledge organization and classification), and the consultation projects that requires more reading and writing. It honestly doesn’t leave much time to sit and reflect during my day, so the blog has been a little slow. Many exciting things are under way, but I’ll save my time and energy into actually working on them. Instead, here are a few noteworthy events that you might be interested in as well:

My KMDI talk: Music as Embodied Knowledge
February 24th, 4-5pm. Bahen Centre (40 St. George St.) Rm. 7231

In preparation for my talk in Oxford in April, I’ll be giving a version of my talk at the Bahen Centre. This is rather exciting, as I get to test out my ideas to a broad audience, and refine my presentation based on feedback. I hope to draw a at least a few audiences from the Faculty of Music.

Summer Plans

After all that rant on information literacy, I am not taking that course after all. Instead, I’m taking a course on visual thinking, and another one on community informatics. However, I am also trying to figure out whether the new curriculum and new regulations (I heard a rumour that thesis work could be worth 6 credits instead of just 4) will impact my plans. Amidst all the administrative flux, I’m anxious to nail down my academic path, but I am sure that everything will work out. My interest in music information retrieval is ever growing, and I am sure I will fulfill it in one way or another.

My dream job is one where I can get paid to learn.
