hopefully something rhetorical

Well, I am sitting in our union on campus because there was some miscommunication about a meeting that I thought that I needed to be at right now, and instead of walking back to my office in the frigid cold outside, I thought that I would just sit and write for a little instead. So, bear with me, this is likely to be a bit ramblish (that should be a word!).

I am really excited about all that I have going on right now.  I am in the process of getting my application together for Texas Tech’s online PhD program right now.  And, I should totally be working on my statement of purpose right now.  But, I am hoping to have a solid draft of that done by Friday, so I can mail out my packet early next week.  All the requests for recommendations are out.  So, now it is just all that is left on my end to get my stuff together.  But, I am so excited about the possibility of the program.

I am also working on some awesome stuff here at school too.  Takes me a minute to wrap my head around all I am involved with right now actually.  But, here they are.

1. I received a grant to work on a project in Second Life and a multicultural group on our campus.  It has been really exciting to learn more about Second Life and the work this group is doing all at the same time.  And, I would really like to do some more writing about how nontraditional writings can work with more “nontraditional” movements on campuses.
2. I am also working with this multicultural group in a more tech support oriented position, and I hope to be able to do some web design for them.  I really want to touch up on those skills, as it has been a while since I did any of that type of work.  And my own site is in such disarray that I definitely need to spend some time on it as well.
3. And, last but not least, I got involved with the engineering school on campus and some large award application work that they are doing.  That is really cool because I am working with the students to actually write the awards.

I am really excited about all these projects, and I am particularly excited about the spaces between.  How they overlap that is.  I will write more when I find out how everything is progressing.  I can’t wait to get that application in the mail.  That is the first thing that absolutely has to get done.  Then, I will be able to breathe a little easier and not be quite as distracted.
