Administrivia: We’ve Moved!

Posted in Blogging, Other on June 9, 2009 | Comments Off

After having a few bad experiences with godaddy’s quick blogcast software, I’ve moved this blog to wordpress.  I’ve redirected protoscholar.com to the new address, so most users shouldn’t see much of a change.  The price of this change was all the comments, because when I imported them on wordpress all the spam came with it.

Back in the game…

Posted in Academic life, Other on June 7, 2009 | Comments Off

My apologies for disappearing for a while.  My mother’s death, a busy teaching semester and a number of other bumps in the road threw me off track for a while.  I didn’t have much to say that would help anyone else out or be of interest, so I didn’t.  Now I do, and will be [...]

Posted in Being a scholar, Other, Technology on February 1, 2008 | Comments Off

I really seem to post in spurts, don’t I.  3-4 times one day, then nothing for a few days.  I spent most of tuesday and wednesday nights pulling together some data for my adviser and a paper he is working on with another group of people.  I was tasked with pulling the descriptive statistics for [...]

To sleep, perchance to dream… Or not.

Posted in Being a scholar, Dissertation, Graduate school, Other, Whining on January 28, 2008 | Comments Off

I went to bed at 11:30 last not.  Not only was I up every hour, all night, I remember seeing the vast majority of that time pass.  I don’t know that I slept at all.  If I did, it was only a few minutes at a time.  My head is fuzzy. Which is making it [...]

Random Thanksgiving thoughts…

Posted in Academic life, Being a scholar, Other, Productivity on November 23, 2007 | Comments Off

Happy Thanksgiving!  Jon is working this year, so I didn’t cook.  It was strange.  I made cheesecakes anyway, just so I wouldn’t feel too left out.  I should have some later. The best productivity tip I have for today is that, for goodness sake, STAY HOME TOMORROW.  Seriously, the amount of time you spend in [...]

Work as self-image

Posted in Being a scholar, Other, Psychology on November 14, 2007 | Comments Off

I cried a bunch before bed last night.  Jon finally brought me half an ambien so that I would sleep.  My career success has been a BIG part of my self-image for a long time.  And I know full well that my skills, intelligence and competence aren’t going away.  But somehow it all feels like [...]
