I don't tend to do things the easy way. If you've seen my other blog (cake30.blogspot.com), you'd know that sometimes I have to smoke the house out (multiple times) to remember to water bath or stick a baking sheet under what's in the oven.
Everyone likes to complain about what a difficult road it is to do whatever they're trying to accomplish. I don't know if it's a form of self-masochism or self-gratification... maybe self-justification? My response when I'm not being disconsolately whiny about my own to-do list is, "if it were easy, everyone would do it." And where would the fun be in that?
So, here's where I stand and what I need to finish- with your help.
1. Portfolio
2. Summer 11 pilot
3. Mods to continue Su 11 into Fall 11
4. Mods on Spring 11 study to start Fall 11
5. Proposal
6. Dissertation
The goal finish date for #5 is December 11 and 1-4 have to come first.
I have a packed schedule, so there's no time to waste on excuses, complaining, regrets, or anyone else's agendas. I have ridiculously sweet plans each week this summer and on outings this fall, and I want to go into them with the reassurance that I'm above water with this workload. I'll be updating you on scheduled grad work days (generally Thursdays) and whenever I get something done or need to jot down some thoughts in between.
It's going to be interesting.
