TL; DR
Personal life had a lot going on so it was difficult finding time to work on other tasks. Was invited to and attended a leadership conference. I am four days into a 14-day writing challenge with NCFDD. So far so good. Got the related works section. There’s a lot of work left in that section. Rogelio believes I’ll be ready to do my written qualifiers THIS fall (2021, not 2022). It’s exciting and scary. Picked out who we think will be a good fit for my committee.
Weekly Update Breakdown
Accomplishments Since My Last Update
- Writing (SGD theory)
- Updated introduction, added supporting citations, and began work on related works.
- Research (Project CODE Switch)
- Talked with Sarah about objects and persistence in GML. Have an idea of what to do now.
- Teaching
- Had a lot of things come up with this last week with students that urgently had to be handled.
- My TA got behind in work last week (which is fine) and said he would catch up this week, but he has a long to do list. I am hoping he can pull through.
- Self-care dailies
- Realized that I don’t need to set aside time daily for teaching because it comes up when it needs to and I have all of Monday set aside for it. One less thing to worry about.
