Knowing you have a big project coming up is also a reminder that the semester is coming to a close. In about three weeks, Fall break will hit, and then it is only two more weeks of instruction afterwards before Finals arrive. It feels like the homestretch in a way, and like a cliche, it came by so soon.
I am unsure about what I want to approach with this project. We have known from the beginning of the semester that there would be a research project involved in this course, but we had only a vague inclination as to what that would entail. We still have only a vague idea as there was no rubric handed out to guide us. So far, we have only received a short email detailing some of the topics we could work on. At this moment, it is not a misunderstanding of what I need to do that daunts, but the availability of options to choose from. I could go the ‘easy’ route and make a thing out of translation itself. A short presentation on translation as an art form that will highlight just why we accept works of translation as submissions up for publication, followed by a directory of helpful resources for anyone interested in learning more about translation or what they need to know in order to get certified is the only starting idea I have to go on. Yet, I could also present on a number of other topics of interest, such as the inns-and-outs of getting an MFA degree. The professor was very clear in letting us know that what we worked on for our research project did not have to be tied to our job role. I guess I’ve got a few coins to flip.
