still writing. one thousand words in, i'm convinced that the only way this can go is downhill. i'm still excited about the topic, even though some of the reading is particularly difficult (like the native american women and children who were slaughtered so that a doctor could study their skulls). hopefully i'll have some interesting things to say when i finish, right now all i can report on is the number of hours i've spent reading/researching/writing at home or at trof (thank goodness for nearby coffee shops and baristas that give me free cups of tea).
