Today was a mix of good and bad, academically speaking. (And really, academics rule my life right now, so there's not much else to tell.) On the good side, I found out that my SSHRC application has a decent shot of being forwarded to the School of Graduate Studies. Or at least I assume so, since they asked one of my current professors to write a letter of recommendation for me to show that I have support at this school as well as my old one. On the bad side, that prof would now like a copy of my (as yet unfinished) thesis so that he has something to write about it. I'll send him what I have done, but I wish I had more. I need to overcome this overwhelming sense of dread I get every time I open the file.

My plans for the weekend: co-author the 30-page paper due Wednesday night, prepare the hour long presentation I have to give on Thursday morning, and finish the next chapter of my thesis. Piece of cake, right?
