I am currently applying for a honor through Phi Delta Kappa called Emerging Leaders. I am trying to wrangle up some letters of recommendation, polish up my curriculum vitae, and write some snazzy things about myself. I’d really like the honor, not just because I work hard at my job, but because I LOVE my job, want to move forward with my career, and eventually publish something. If I receive the Emerging Leader Award, I’ll have the chance to publish my thesis in PDK! Fingers crossed. I am not the most qualified person for the award, but I am pretty awesome, and I think some of that will come across in my recommendation letters and personal statements.
Also, homework. Metric butt-tons of it. That’s 3.5 standard butt-tons.
