My research paper is in, I finished submitting my final grades for spring quarter, and just like that, my first year as a professor is done. To celebrate the occasion (and for your listening enjoyment), here’s North by Northwest, a song that was on heavy rotation during many of my long study sessions at Seattle’s Central Library.
Both Blue Scholars and Common Market gave me some much needed energy in those writing and grading marathons that can be pretty draining. So to honor their contribution to my research process, I bought both of their first CDs off Amazon. Now what? Technically, my work’s not really done since there’s still some miscellaneous stuff to do over the summer, but for the most part, I’m pretty much headed into the best part of an academic career: summer vacation! Peace.

Comment by mom June 20, 2009 @ 7:38 pmI heard that summer was supposed to be a vacation, too — but between two research projects and two book reviews, I’m trying to figure out when the “vacation” part happens…
