Dear Research Diary,
I've finished my presentation, as well as a paper for Prof. Dohna so I am rather exhausted and it's rather late so I hope I won't be too tired in the morning!! I absolutely despise giving presentations... I'm glad everyone in our class is a close friend (but I hope my presentation won't be too informal as a result of this). I'm excited to see what everyone else has prepared...

Dear Research Diary,
Today there was no class so I did some work on my presentation. I gathered a list of artists I liked and thought were pertinent and did whatever research I could on them. It's looking promising, but I'm gathering a lot of questions to which I have no answers.... What the heck is the Ukrainian avant-garde anyway? The Russians had a monopoly on everything..

Dear Research Diary,
Today was so stressful!!! I had planned to divide my time in the library (once again a full day) in half..the first half dedicated to my italian politics paper (which is meant to be short but sweet) and then during my shift in the library I would do some work on my thesis. HOWEVER when it came time to work, I was like a library SLAVE, doing endless end of semester statistics and then stalking all the students for this huge study the library is doing on how students use their study space! I mean, I'm not complaining because obviously they pay me to work, but usually when I have nothing to do, the library is dead, and today, when I had something planned, I had to do an unprecedented amount of work in the library! until 11 pm!! Such is life....

Dear Research Diary,
Another full library day. I can't believe I had to wait until NOON for it to open!! Finished my second english paper (the Grapes of Wrath....not sure if I can ever read you again) (just kidding, great book). Unfortunately there are way too many approaching deadlines for me to have spent time on my thesis today. This is clear proof that I need to organize my time better!!! I don't want to be in this sort of situation when my thesis deadline approaches!

Dear Research Diary,
Today was a crazy day. I had to wake up so early to go to this questura which was like an hour away, and then when we got there, there were a million immigrants with huge families trying to get their documents. When we finally got fingerprinted, the main guy was chain smoking cigarettes in this small room... in one of the biggest immigration office buildings in all of Italy, strange, but not surprising.
When I got back to Trastevere I stuffed my mouth with pizza and went straight to the library, where I remained until it closed. I had to get my first english paper out of the way, and start my second one. It went very well, but I had only a brief moment dedicated to thesis research. I tried to see what I could find on the internet about the ukrainian avant-garde, and found a few publications, exhibitions..... and took note of them. Tomorrow living in the library continues.
Oh yeah, and Livia told me about the trip to GNAM. She told me I should definitely go, and she'd help me if I had any questions. She's definitely a life saver!
