Days to Graduation: 76

Progress continues apace. Where that pace means twice as slow as I wish it were progressing. But here we are. I’m making edits to two papers, preparing to submit soon, and I’m busily calculating my calculus on no fewer than 920 stars. That’s something.

And meanwhile, I’m trying to decide what to do with the rest of my life.

P.S. 76 days? This is me not panicking.

Days to Graduation: 132

I finished the first draft of my planets paper and sent it off to my collaborator! Hooray! That happened on Thursday, and yesterday and today I have been working on my next application, for a summer internship program in science writing. It's not due until the 15th but I think I will send it out first thing Monday morning, surely a first for me. It's amazing what crazy acts the desire to graduate will engender.

Days to Graduation: 137

After a week spent focusing on an application for a science writing master's program (submitted not one hour ago), I am back on the graduation train. After I spend this afternoon doing all that laundry I let pile up, and running all those errands I neglected, too. Tomorrow, though, right back at it! For sure! Until I fall into writing the next application, which is due the 15th. But hopefully between now and then I can write the introduction and discussion for the planets paper I'm working on.
