I swear, I'm trying to get back here to post more again, but it just ain't happening!
I think I've already mentioned I'm buying a new house, and closing on that is coming up very soon (too soon...I swore it seemed a long way off when I made the offer, and now I'm still scrambling to get everything ready on time). Then I need to paint a bunch of rooms and pull up ugly carpet (the sellers have very tacky taste) before I really move in. Still need to try to find movers...to move me in May...in a college town. And need to schedule that around a trip I'm making to the more rural parts of the state with other faculty to tour factories and farms and learn about the needs of the people in rural areas so our educational and outreach programs can better target those needs.
This week was supposed to be my week off while the med students are on spring break, but somehow, my week has gotten completely filled up with meetings (you'd think everyone else had the week off too, to hold meetings :grumpy:) and heading off to another university to tour their facilities at the end of the week.
Starting back to getting research done as classes come to an end, and busy getting that up and running again.
And, found out today that the grant I'm a co-PI on just got funded...this is the one for me to travel to Mozambique this summer, and I think I arrive for the rainy season . It's one of those mixed blessing sort of things...great to get the grant, and cool to travel to Mozambique and do something really needed there, but I think I would have preferred if the funding got delayed until winter. If I catch malaria, I'll have plenty of time home sick to tell you all about it. :uhh:
