So about that last post....
How weird would it be if I was able to scrounge up a proposal to do some music therapy thing in England this summer and won a bunch of $$ to do it?
Got nominated for an award which requires me to write up a proposal by Feb. 1st for some project (outside of my schoolwork, that can't interfere with my schoolwork); the award would fund said project up to a pretty ridiculous amount of $$. Now, it's obviously competitive and there's non-MT people up for it too (several MTs in the running as well), and the last thing I need is to start another project. But finishing the GIM training, that might be a possibility... so if I could quickly work out some logistics, that would be pretty sweet. Neil even says to go for it. Might begin to get me some schmoozing time over there, too. So I guess we'll see what I can whip up.
In the meantime, I highly recommend Writing Your Dissertation in Fifteen Minutes a Day. Gotten me a little more grounded and less overwhelmed with the Great Diss. I think it's gonna kick ass, if I can pull it off. So I just gotta make myself a schedule and stick to it.
Tomorrow I teach my first class for the semester, so wish me luck -- about twice the size of last year's class, and I'm being supervised by Dear Advisor this semester -- intimidating as hell, but also I'm certain will be ann extremely rich and rewarding experience. I'm strangely looking forward to it. We'll see how I feel about that in a month or two.
