I must admit, week three was on the slower end when it came to my practicum. Because I had been working and volunteering so much, my schoolwork across all classes fell behind, and I spent this week catching up. I did send out an email to Grace Kennedy at Fraser Valley Current and Dr. Lolehawk Laura Buker who is a professor at UFV who has been working with us on a number of Halq'emeylem stories, and a singer in the Good Medicine Singers group. They are currently working to create new songs in Halq'emeylem, and Grace pitched them as a story for me to write. I researched the group and am looking forward to hearing back from Lolehawk to share a conversation on the topic.
As with previous weeks, my struggles with time and project management continued. I had to reach out to all the writers of the pieces I am editing for SAD Magazine, have meetings with Tracy and my partner for the Climate Disaster Project, do research for my Narwhal photo assignment, send out invoices for previous freelancing contracts, and catch up on my communications and creative writing class work.
A big part of this week included research to get organized. I watched some videos by a Youtuber named Nathaniel Drew, who inspired me to start using my Notion project board again. Here is a previous snip of how I organized projects and how I will continue to organize them moving forward.
