By NOON of June 30, I will do the following:
- complete my statement of professional activities [in pretty good shape now]
- fill in missing page numbers and such on my CV [also, minimal work]
- photocopy everything I've published since grad school [ugh!]
- order books for my fall class
- send out a minimum of 3 more manuscripts and, ideally, 6
- meet with my writing group about a current project
- drive to Dr. Gorgeous's office probably 3-4 times
On June 30 at 1:00 I have scheduled myself for a massage, after which time I will do nothing resembling work for two weeks, go somewhere with LG [need to get on that], and, hopefully, hopefully, hopefully, get knocked up with a keeper. A girl can dream, can't she?
SIX manuscripts!!! WOW. I admire you. I got four manuscripts submitted one semester and almost lost my mind. It was right before my mid-career review. I still remember sitting with my head on my desk very, very late at night during that time crying tears of frustration and stress, when a visiting lecturer came in unannounced and promptly decided that she no longer wanted a tenure track position.
ReplyDeleteI like the productive zen here. Good for you. I'll try to follow your model. You rock. And remember, while editing that statement of professional activities, repeat the mantra "I AM the shit"... :)
Keep in mind I said I needed to send them out, not write them!! They're pretty much ready to go, but I need to figure out where to send them...
ReplyDelete6 manuscripts, even if they're almost ready to go, that's pretty impressive! Good luck with all of this!
