frustration

So, seven of my students got into a pretty large regional conference and it's pain trying to help them get funding. So many loopholes and so many forms and so many politics. It's so g**danged frustrating to have some smart kids who just need some financial help. Hopefully, I can get a univ van to help with travel at least.

I did get my book proposal letter ready. I'm sending it to friends first, then to the publisher.

Family woes suck, too.

The money part is always the sh*tty part. Very frustrating, I agree. I hope you get the $ you need; it sounds like you're doing well at the new tenure gig! ;o) We are so proud of you!

I'm struggling, I tell ya. I feel like I'm a freaking salmon during spawning season.
