16. The Approach
Physical Reading of book Vs.
Digital audio book...

17. Journal entries are noted
after each reading
Notes/highlights are made
in book to look back on
Notes are then compiled into a
simpler list to reminisce over later
When full list is made, notes are
organized into a cohesive list that
follows the memories/ideas in a
timeline that fits well with
each other for the final piece.

18. Issues with project
Too much on mind - can’t concentrate
on readings
Time - Third thesis idea of the
semester - started later than others
