motivation fail

I haven't posted here in a while and if you're wondering why (who reads this) that's because I haven't done shit for this portfolio since I sent in the first draft of my conceptual territories paper. It's not like I'm incredibly busy with very important things to the point that I can't write a 1-2 page reflection on something-or-other. I just don't want to.

My selected questions were approved by my advisor. Want to know what they are? Too bad, I'm going to write them down here anyway:

1) How can we connect students' out-of-school literacy practices with school literacies? what knowledge/practices are transferable (in either direction)?
2) What is/ should be the role of out-of-school and non-school programs related to literacy?

At least that's what I sent to my advisor. I'm sure I will come up with more questions when I eventually start writing the thing and that these questions will evolve and change somewhat. I have all kinds of grand ideas for this paper, but I have yet to write anything down, open a book, or do a damn thing besides think about it occasionally. The first draft is due in 9 days, so I should probably, um, get started.
