Getting Better

Today, I am feeling much better. And the last two days have been much more productive. It's great to have so much more flexibility in terms of my schedule, but I remember last year feeling like the summer flew by before I knew what happened. I want to make sure to get several things accomplished.

I'm continuing on my work on the theory piece that I'm (sort of) starting. It was rejected last year, and this piece will have a similar starting point as that one although it will go much further. I'm not sure if that means it's new or not, but I'm starting mostly from scratch at any rate.

I think I've talked about the fact that I'm working on an interdisciplinary research team this summer. It's going fairly well. One member is on vacation this week--would have been much better later in the summer, after we were already well underway. I have high expectations for this project.

After having a grant application rejected by the same organization twice, I am considering sending it elsewhere to seek funding. I may try one more time at this organization, but it's pretty frustrating to fix all of the things they asked me to fix and still get rejected.
