Classes start Monday. Not that I have classes. Already, though, I'm annoyed by people on my campus. 
Time to get cranking. Blargh. By the end of the year, my aim is to have *three* chapters done (I currently have two "in process"). I also aim to have ONE co-written article out, one self-written piece underway/read to go out, and maybe a second co-written piece underway. I'm going to take a couple of stats classes later in the year, and I'm a preceptor for the MA thesis workshop. I'm also student coordinator for the American politics workshop - both of which are sweet gigs. Another year, another wave of uncertainty and isolation!

"Each step is better in a way, but also annoying in its own special manner."
True that, and can tell you some stories about being faculty -- especially this year, as I've unexpectedly been made chair...
But that part where they stop testing you and start paying you? Oh, it's ALL it's cracked up to be.
