I have to complete several tasks today, including:
- Reworking article for February 15th deadline
- French homework
- Reading and data analysis for ambiguous, increasingly unstable PhD project
Lying awake in bed last night, I was thinking that what I need to do at this point is gather up all the bits I've cut and look again at my dissertation, and make another process-oriented article for either the Journal of CMC or Language@Internet. Publishing something in either of those journals would be a big coup for me at this point in my career, so I am going to give it 132%. Give or take.
If I can do that, then I can cite both articles in my probationary report this summer and my examiners will be amazed.
On a completely unrelated note, we have to go to a birthday party on Saturday that starts at 2:25. '2:25?' I said to Yoko, 'Who the hell starts a party at 2:25?' Well, they expect that people will come a little later, at 2:30. 'Then why don't they just say 2:30?' I said. Well, because if they say 2:30, then people will show up at 2:40. They've done research on this. 'We're going at 2:25,' I said. 'If it's 2:25, we go at 2:25. We'll show them.'
