Two big things off my list.
1) I completed my first fellowship application. Thanks everyone who read my letter and gave me advice on the right way to send off such a thing- I know I was unduly stressed about getting it out. I actually had Matt come into my work to run technical (and emotional) support while I created a a couple pdfs and wrote the actual email. Even though I was really high strung, it is nice to share these major milestones with my husband. Today I applied for my first job!
2) I sent the first manuscript off to the coauthors. We've moved on to step 2, as outlined in this previous post. I know you were probably all thinking this was out, gone, old news, and I somehow neglected to mention it. Ha! You'll be hearing about every grueling detail! I sent that out late yesterday, and so far I haven't even gotten a "when would you like comments back" or any other form of acknowledgment. But, Dr. Boss is going to see the one collaborator who doesn't work in Pittsburgh this weekend, so hopefully he can encourage this process a bit. We've got 7 more steps to go!
That is 2 big writing projects down (well, I am counting #2 as an accomplishment- since we move into a different stage of writing next). I have a couple more applications to work on, and then I should try to get my CV and a general cover letter in order as I expand my job search. Know anyone hiring anywhere west of the Rockies? Oh, and there is another manuscript in my future and,... oh yes. A Dissertation to write. More writing to come.
We celebrated with an awesome pork pot roast, so I also feel like the champion of my own kitchen.
