Renewal and Preparation

The weekend was great for renewal. I didn't really even think about work until Tuesday morning, which was probably great for me mentally.

This morning, I had an early morning meeting about my trip overseas next summer. The meeting was basically about how to interview and evaluate applying students. I'm starting to get very excited, but it's also in my nature to be particularly nervous until I have recruited enough students for the trip to make.

Now, I'm about to cook dinner for our graduate students, kind of a graduate director tradition. Class with these students was really neat last night.

Oh, and I'm submitting a new article. Actually, it's one that was rejected in June and then pseudo-rejected last month (the editor said it didn't fit the journal). So here goes again.
