I’ve got lots of posts in (Third) mind to do, but first I’ve got to get out that application for the award that I previously mentioned (and that I won’t get).
To divert me further, my doctoral-candidate daughter, also applying for an award, has just e-mailed me, for my editorial guidance, a 22-page paper entitled, “Enhanced Sound Propagation Modeling of Aviation Noise: Hybrid Parabolic Equation-Fast Field Program Method.” (You KNOW I couldn’t make this up.)
Don’t we stop having to read our kids’ work after the college-application essay? It will be interesting trying to edit (and cut two pages from) something on a topic that I’m clueless about. And I’ve got to do it today, because she too is on deadline. (She learned procrastination from me.)
Where are those consolation-prize CultureGrrl ads (which I shamelessly begged for at the end of this post) when I really need them?
