- Today I finally finished manuscript revisions for reviews I got in MARCH. I was so slow with this! I sent them to the advisors; hopefully they will like what I've done so I can resubmit soon.
- I got rejected for a post doc fellowship that I really, really wanted. Bummer.
- I've been going to a book club. I really enjoy it, although all the other women are good friends, except me. They are nice, however, and I'm hoping to get some new friends out of it. Last time we discussed The Story of Edgar Sawtelle, which I totally didn't get when I read it. It just seemed filled with strange choices for the plot. Fortunately, the others in the book club are humanities types who informed me that the book was a take on Hamlet. Knowing that, it made a LOT more sense.
- I had a great time with my friends in Florida last weekend.
- Since I cut back on the carpooling, EGM and I have been going in super early. Today we left at 6:10 am. Loving it so far, but it takes some organization. There will probably be a full post on this later.
- I am so ready for the Lost finale tomorrow, although I am not ready for a six-month break in the show. We have leftovers in the fridge, so we can have dinner ready for the early start time.

RBOC
So I've been out of the blogging loop lately. I was away for a few days, but I've been back for over a week. I guess I've just been doing other stuff in the evenings. Anyway, to get back in the swing of things, I give you bullets:

Sorry about the fellowship. But glad that you had a good time in Florida
Sorry about the fellowship :( Glad you enjoyed your visit to Florida - hope you got to wear your summer hat :)
Wait-- tomorrow is the finale?? I love May sweeps now that I'm on a true academic schedule! :-)
Sorry about the fellowship. Glad that the rest of the bullets sound happier ;)
I'm sorry you didn't get the fellowship. :(
I may be the only person in my age group who doesn't watch lost. I tried watching it but it routinely gave me nightmares of being trapped on an island.
Sorry about your fellowship. :-( But congrats on finishing the revisions, though. Good luck with the resubmission.
Sorry about the fellowship, that sucks.
You are very brave to go into a book club full of humanities types who know about analogies and Hamlet and stuff.
Sorry about the fellowship, such a bummer.
The book club and trip to FL sound like fun though.
Also here to leave condolences about the postdoc. :(
Bummer about the postdoc. :(
I agree, there was tons of positive hype about the Sawtelle book, but I was distinctly underwhelmed. I don't do sentimental very well, though. Sorry about the postdoc, but don't let it get you down. Good luck with the manuscript!
ah, yes, Edgar Sawtelle. It's still on the bestseller list. Everybody raves about it. But I just can't get myself to pick it up. I like Hamlet just fine as Hamlet. I don't need a remake.
