December

[rebeccmeister]

There is too much to do in December. It is going to be very physically, mentally and emotionally consuming. I need to get my plans organized to get things done.

First, a very happy birthday to my mom! I have a gift for you, but I think I will carry it up to Seattle when I fly up on Dec. 23.

Next, plans:
Today/this week: re-house a bunch of the lab colonies in preparation for my last major experiment, write my presentation for next week's conference in San Diego, more erging, revise Diss Chap 1 and send to committee member, come up with a list of potential postdoc projects to send to committee member.

Next week (12/12-12/15): conference in San Diego.

After that, from 12/16-12/22: work on writing postdoc proposals (probably 2 of them), revising Diss Chap 1 and another manuscript, make sure that experimental colonies are happy/doing well. Finish out the Holiday Challenge.

12/23-1/6: Seattle, time for visiting with family and friends, probably some more writing squeezed in there as well, as needed, for postdoc proposals (due Jan 15).

1/7 onward: run the last experiment, keep writing.
