Before I get working

I was a good girl yesterday and finished my personal statement for the fellowship application.  I just can't use the original one; it's too embarrassing.  But I guess that it is nice to know that my writing has gotten better in the past five years or so.  It was kind of fun to write the statement so that it looked like I knew what I was doing when I applied to this school.  It's like writing your hypotheses after you've already found your results.  "Of course this is what I expected to get all along!"

My professor wants me to write an abstract to submit to ASC in November so that we can have a panel discussion centered around the project.  However, there is the issue of me not having done any kind of analysis since the last ASC presentation and the abstract is due the week after next.  Oh, well.  I'll make something up.  I'll probably have done something by November.  I should also muck around with my Methods book list a bit more.  And maybe start the third (last) one.

( Brokeback love. )

I'll also be rooting for Jon Stewart.  Love him.
