RE: Reee SURCH

EEEEEEE. This has been a stupid-hard year for me. My life has kept getting in the way of my goals at school and I am massively frustrated. The scope of my paper went from being an academic analysis of black metal, and has morphed into a discussion of the division between active participants/consumers in the scene versus scholars studying the scene's history/social relevance. It's simultaneously exhausting and exciting to be exploring the disparity between the two camps. But, whew. I'm beat.
