Dissertating is now a verb...watch as I perform!

I'm outtie...for the time being

Hi all, just a quick note to let you know that I probably won't be blogging for a while. The mad job market rush has begun in earnest and I'm finding that I don't have any free time or energy to blog about my life at the moment. My schedule currently seems to be divided between the following:
  1. Drafting different versions of my cover letter for the myriad positions I'm applying for
  2. Updating my CV and rearranging it at the behest of various committee members
  3. Trying to develop a schedule of deadlines and materials requirements for the various jobs applications
  4. Trying to figure out how to work the online credentials service
  5. Working on the remaining two chapters of my dissertation
  6. Working on revising a completed chapter for publication
  7. Doing all the time consuming stuff that accompanies teaching (lecture prep, grading, creating assignments, re-reading novels, etc.)
  8. Working with other graduate students to stage various protests and letter writing campaigns against my university's current plans to cut major funding to our College of Liberal Arts and Sciences
Needless to say, my schedule is full at the moment. When I feel I can breathe again, I'll be back to blog about more meaningless shit.

Toodles,
Sparks
