March Research Thread

[Parasaurolophus]

Everything old is new again.


Monthly goals:

• Generate and give conference presentation.
• Submit contracted translation manuscript #2.
• Finish straggling book chapter.
• Start on the intro for translation project #3.
• Comment on an acquaintance's projected reply to a paper of mine.

Stretch:

• Open a new front (i.e. chapter) on the book project.
• Polish up a languishing paper and send it out.
• Start work on a new paper.
• Start work on a chapter contribution due in August.

Just one of those stretches would be fantastic. There's no way I could accomplish them all.

Today, I will do a bit more spot-checking for the translation project, start another pile of marking, and try to have a nap.

Today, I will do a bit more spot-checking for the translation project, start another pile of marking, and try to have a nap.

Did those things, minus the nap, which I'll try to have now. It won't be long, but every bit helps when every day is a 3-5am kind of day.

More grading and prepping today, alas.

[Wahoo Redux]

I have two weeks to the due date.

If I can keep this head of steam going I should be fine.  Hoping to finish this week and then have a week to noodle and format. 

This is like writing the dissertation all over again.

More grading and prepping today, alas.

Did those. Not done yet, but I'm close to getting them out of the way.

Also convinced a friendly acquaintance to collaborate on a paper over the next year or so.

[Parasaurolophus]

Probably just more grading and prep today. Hopefully I can start back on the proper research work tomorrow.

Toddler didn't sleep, so I was unable to do anything.

Power is out for a couple of days, so progress will be minimal.

March Goals

• Write some chapters of my book manuscript
• Work on book chapter due in June with colleague

Same goals as February...ayiyi! I just got through any changes in the most recent edition of the last source I needed. Now I really need to write my book.

Other excitement: a book chapter I coauthored is published (I got the PDF today and the hard copy of the book comes tomorrow in the mail), my sabbatical manuscript is finally under review after sitting for 8 months with top tier journal I really hope will publish it eventually, and my other book chapter may be out at the end of the month too according to the editor! Lastly...I found out I am getting promoted to full!

Got ahead on my reading and got my slides preliminarily sorted before the computer died.

[Parasaurolophus]

Hopefully I'll make a start on my conference talk during the commute.

Feeling pretty ill today, so probably nothing.
