Joys
1. Getting to do research in the Carleton College Archives
2. Nightly Snack-bar Study Breaks with Jason
3. Reading and Writing about Jazz
4. The independent study that led up to it
5. The satisfaction of completing it (and the Sevy 211 All-nighter for completion)
6. One of our seminar classmates thinking that Jason and I were "together"
7. Interviews with former Carleton students involved in Jazz on campus
8. How it nicely fit into other activities of the year (Bob Brookmeyer, Mark Applebaum, John Hasse)
Nightmares
1. (literal) Dreaming that a particular professor was trying to kill me in a train yard while I was trying to ask him to advise the paper
2. Being told by that professor (in real life) that '[He] only advises comps that get distinction, and mine wouldn't get distinction.'
3. Writer's block/ procrastination on 4th Burton during the Winter Break research stay.
4. Not having it be as thorough as I would've liked
5. Having to write words in logical, informative, prose
