Ahh! Dissertation, manuscript, writing boot camp for mentoring program, lab meetings, work meetings, and job applications. E-mails. Too much. It is a bit risky, but I have made an executive decision to cool it on the job apps for right now. I have applied to the jobs that I really want, so I will just have to trust I will get one. There is one more I want to apply for. After than, no more until at least April 15.
E-mail is my own personal living nightmare. I think I am in danger of getting ulcers from it. Every time I think I am on top of it, another pile is dumped on top of me. I am completely buried in it, but I hope I can dig out during spring break.
Wonderful, spring break! My saving grace for a dissertation that has become like an abandoned red-headed stepchild. I am so ready to get in there an deal with the final stages of it. Bottom line: I have done minimal work lately because of other pressing work. Solution: This manuscript, my dissertation, and boot camp have got to be the 3 points of focus from now until the end of April. That is all. Hope you all are well. Update us! :)

Hey Hun. I'm glad that you're feeling better but it sounds like you're still running around like crazy. What is this writer's boot camp? It is the same as the writer's workshop on March 27th? Anyway, keep us posted on the job search. It is so easy to put that dissertation to the side but I'm also looking forward to spending spring break with my dissertation too. Hope all goes well!
ReplyDeleteI don't think it is the same thing. The camp is for Tide Together mentees and it is on March 26 and April 23. Let me know if you are interested in helping out. We need people to critique students' work.
