• Chapter 2: 4,000 3,500 more words (for ~8,500 total)
• Chapter 3: read some of primary source V

500 words on the diss this morning. I'd rather keep writing, but I have a stack of final exams that isn't getting any smaller . . .

Yea for diss progress!

The first of three viewings of the slide lecture went well, good discussion and helpful points made.

No teaching tonight so I can focus on edits in the article and related work.

After lunch.

All kinds of things went wrong yesterday, but today I'll finish this section.

I did it.

[Parasaurolophus]

Not much time today, but I'll try to squeeze in a little bit of sectioning.

Yes, progress! Glad the viewing went well!

[mamselle]

Thanks!

Finished the third today.

Now to type up the results, send with the thank-you's, and implement.

Plus the article stuff.

Not much time today, but I'll try to squeeze in a little bit of sectioning.

Managed several hundred words to nearly finish the annotated biblio. I should manage to finish this (new!) section tomorrow or early Monday. Whew!

[Parasaurolophus]

I'd like to finish that section today, but we'll see. At the very least, I can set myself up to finish it tomorrow.

[mamselle]

Writing up results now.

Done! That's 17/50 sections entirely done.

I'd like to get another two done by the end of the month. Three would be great, but might be pushing it. Anyway, that would leave me to complete 7-8 a month starting in January. That's still way too many, but it's closing in on manageable territory, especially if I push mega-hard in one of those months.

[Parasaurolophus]

Working on a new section today.

[mamselle]

Summarized all the feedback, need to consolidate with one more editing pass, but useful.

Next steps to be determined.

Still need to do article work.

Teaching in 1 hr.

Hmm....

Today we conducted the first interview for the new project. After lunch I decided to tackle one of the three manuscript reviews for journals due in early January. Because all three are manuscript revisions, they take less time, so I ended up doing all three in a row!

[Parasaurolophus]

Working on a new section today.

Wrote about 400 words or so, and finished hunting down everything I want in the biblio. Also read a thing. I should be able to finish it up in a few days. Maybe just two more, with a little luck.
