Q3 5-Hour Project Proposal!
This quarter I want to do something different for my project. My best friend, Corinna, is away at college at the University of Chicago. We talk on the phone sometimes, but the distance means we have a sort of strange disconnect and don't always know what's going on in each other's lives. Once, in her junior year (my sophomore year), she did an art/experimental project where she sent me a little painting every day for a month and I had to write a memory that I associated with it to see if any of our memory associations matched up. This quarter, I'd like to do something similar but less art-related, and send her a letter every day. It won't necessarily always be a long letter; sometimes it might be a few sentences about what's going on and the day and such things. I am thinking about also sending one line a day of a short story that I'm writing, because I need some sort of motivation and I wonder how it will develop over the course of a month. So, I want to start the week after break, and send letters every day until around the end of the quarter (approximately four weeks). I'm hoping it will be a soc-type experiment in that I process things, consider what to tell her, and communicate via a (hopefully not dying!) classic form in order to improve our relationship.
