When I first thought of posting this, it was because I’ve got to get ready for school and finish the article and editing the dissertation.
But then I thought it also applied to being in the UK and how short a time left here we have.
I realized I’ve posted nothing on the linguistics and language things I’ve noted while here.
In the next three weeks I will:
finish an article
finish editing my dissertation
get two new preparations’ syllabi and course calendars ready
finish most of my tenure and promotion portfolio
solicit letters for the t&p (anyone impacted by TCE want to write one about that?)
attend the Doctor Who new season premiere in Cardiff
attend Nine Worlds
attend LonCon3
give a paper at LonCon3
be on a roundtable (or two) at LonCon3
visit Stonehenge
see a friend coming in from Africa
hit the charity shops with said friend
see a friend from home who is in the UK for a few weeks
see friends who have moved here but are going to be in the States for most of the next 3 weeks
do a Harry Potter Warner Bros Studio Tour
eat lunch in The Shard
meet with a fellow academic whose book I am writing a chapter for
read the newest Ilona Andrews novel
Just stumbled across your blog while preparing for the new semester and finalizing this stack of syllabi. Now here I am, distracted by your posts, because I was in the UK just last week and am missing it. Great stuff here — glad I stumbled upon it.
