book reviews

i wonder if i could write a book review of the new book edited by lia. it's big and i'm not so good... well actually i've never done a book review so i guess i would suck at it. it'd be nice, though, to try, at least. one problem is that i wouldn't know where i could send it so i wouldn't know what's required for the publication in question. but if it's half good, i could submit it to the esl award thingy next year.

i've sent a short summary of a small study i did with my esl students a year ago to the ET editor to ask her if she thinks it'd make a good article. this journal is not very "academic" but it's still a peer-reviewed journal and a tesol publication so it's always a good thing. i need to work on stuff like that this summer!

(ok i just check chris tardy's cv and website at depaul, and it's highly depressing. she has a list of publications and presentations longer than anything anyone could imagine. there's no hope for me).

done with the law presentation handout and outline. have read two more chapters of the AWGS book, and this was good. i wish i'd had this book three years ago. dammit, that reminds me that i'll be a FOURTH year PhD student in the fall, that's scary!

some days i think i can make it in four years. some days i think it's crazy.
since spring break, i've worked a lot and very efficiently. but i don't know if it'll last and i don't know if it'd be enough to finish things up by august 2006.

i'll start the 002 website right now, that's what i'll do, because i'm sick of the patriot act and academic writing!
