Just gotta keep on sectioning.

I'm procrastinating, and I gotta stop!!!

Pictures to process. Slides to work on. Text to type and edit.

Vrromm, vrroooommm...vroooooommmmmmm!!!

Just gotta keep on sectioning.

Well, I didn't feel up to much today, but I wrote a couple hundred words and, crucially, read a lot of stuff for this third new section. There's more to go, but it's taking shape.

I stopped procrastinating.

Many more slides done.

I'm near the finish point, save the bibliography, I think.

Moar sectioning.

[filologos]

• Finish (re)reading and taking notes on primary source HF
• (Re)read and take notes on primary source H
• Finish (re)reading and taking notes on primary source M
• Begin writing conference paper (~600/2750 words; notional deadline: Dec. 15th)
• Begin writing dissertation chapter #2 (4,700 words in)

Stretch goal:

• Finish writing conference paper

No further progress on the dissertation -- I got sick over the weekend and didn't write on Monday -- but I have finally started the conference paper and set up my handout in LaTeX.

^ Good news!

My students all flipped their PM lessons to early times, so I'm finishing up now, will then have the rest of the day to get going on those last tasty morsels of bibliography to chew on....

Moar sectioning.

There wasn't much sleep last night, so my energy is low today. I did a small bunch of reading and a tiny bit of writing, but it's enough that this section is filling out OK (I was worried about it a few days ago!). I'm almost at the point where I can get in there and write freely, unshackled by this annotated bibliography.

[mamselle]

The flipped lessons kept getting re-reverse-engineered, so I had chunks of empty time that I couldn't really start working in, because someone was still "just coming" from whatever they were doing before to do their lesson (online).

There are three in the family, two had lessons today, we finally got done, they did well, but...no time (and now now braincells left) for my own worky-work. So, tomorrow....between very set, firm times (11 AM siblings/Zoom brunch, which won't go over an hour, and 6/8 PM friend/Zoom dinner) I'll be able to get to it. Food is already prepped so won't take long, and I don't have to get dressed or go anywhere.

That's the plan, anyway.

Still tired, but gotta sectionize.

First Zoom call done, time to do some more slides now.

Happy Thanksgiving if you celebrate! I am just venting, no need to respond. The revision we submitted in July still is under review (the initial manuscript received a very quick R&R with feedback) so I just wrote the editor to ask about the status. I included the July confirmation email from the journal about receiving the revision. The editor wrote back "you submitted the revision in October and obviously do not communicate with your coauthors." Ouch! That is such BS, and clearly the editor thinks I faked the email we received. How bizarre. This might jeopardize our getting into this journal, so I wrote an apology to my coauthors. I am so surprised the editor does not trust the journal's system and thinks my colleagues and I do not communicate. We have been wondering what is taking so long for months! Sigh.

[mamselle]

Nooooo!!!!!!

Hope it gets worked out!

Still tired, but gotta sectionize.

60% done the annotated bibliography, did more reading.

[Parasaurolophus]

Guess I'll try to finish off the annotated bibliography part, since that speeds up finishing the rest of the section.
