orecast says more snow is on the way. We probably won’t have it too bad compared to those in the mid-Atlantic region. Friends of mine live outside of DC, and the pics they send of their backyard the other night were breathtaking. Three feet of snow all at once is quite the sight. They are expecting another 12-18 inches, while we will have to settle for another 8-12.
The young kid within me thinks about snow days, hot cocoa, and sledding with the prediction of more snow. The grown-up realist recognizes that no matter what happens I will probably be trudging up to campus tomorrow morning to teach a half-full classroom.
Today my motivation seriously waned as the day wore on. I think the task of cutting down the 22 page dissertation prospectus into a five page proposal is taking a mental toll on me. The task is a wee bit daunting, and I just don’t even know where to begin or end or what. Certain things are essential – the research question and the models I propose – but what else must be in there??? So many of the examples flush out the purpose of the document that I have trouble letting go of…. well…. so much of what I’ve written. Me thinks I am going to need some help with this task.
