🧠 PaJamas 👀

💌 The cosiest, cuddliest, craziest personal reader ✍️

PaJamas is Tommi’s Personal Reader during the adventurous two years of the XPUB master programme. As it is with Tommi’s whole existence and practice, PaJamas is a perpetual work in progress.

How do I know what I know? How did I learn if I am so bad at following classes and I am not self-thought either?

🛶 Milestones

Despite its unbelievably free, collaborative, and open nature, XPUB exists within an academic context. Thus, it has its own evaluation moments, too.

However critical and hip we may be, we still inhabit a capitalist, individualistic society. Together we are stronger, but sometimes we still find ourselves alone, paddling our own canoe against wind and waves pushing against us.

Probably nothing can more effectively wake you up to the last fibre of your physical, intellectual and nervous being. You are filled with an exhilaration. Every muscle, strung tight, answers immediately and accurately to the slightest hint. You quiver all over with restrained energy. Your mind thrusts behind you the problem of the last wave as soon as solved, and leaps with insistent eagerness to the next. It is a species of intoxication. You personify each wave; you grapple with it as with a personal adversary; you exult as, beaten and broken, it hisses away to leeward. Go it, you son of a gun you shout. Ah! you would, would you? — think you can, do you?

And in the roar and the rush of wind and water you crouch like a boxer on the defence, parrying the blows but ready at the slightest opening to gain a stroke or two of the paddle. You are too busily engaged in slaughtering waves to consider your rate of progress. The fact that slowly you arepulling up on your objective point does not occur to you until you are within a few hundred yards of it. Then don’t relax your efforts; the waves to be encountered in the last hundred yards are exactly as dangerous as those you dodge four miles from shore.

Yes — and it is just the same with a busy life.

— Robert Baden-Powell, Rovering to Success

Here are my notes and my work in relation to those academic milestones.
