eating blackberries

today i faxed the budget, eliminated one person from my colloquium and wrote the proposal and started entering the info into the online submission thingy, bought some large envelops to send all the stuff to different schools, called two people, one who said yes (for the fall study and not the pilot) and the other one who said yes (and she'll take care of the IRB stuff herself), ate at the olive garden but it wasn't too good, listened to the big storm this morning, bought two new movies because i'm bored with my old ones and a small box of blackberries that i'm eating right now, called my car insurence about some weird fee that i refuse to pay, called purdue to get a copy of some teaching evaluations from last year that i lost, got artheritis pain killer for my mom, had a long phone conversation with a good friend who has heath problems these days, exchanged 200 emails with half of the world about proposals and awards and other stuff, took a long shower this morning, signed a lease for the apartment for next year, downloaded some IRB forms from different schools, checked the length of the 19 schools that have accepted to participate, filled out georgia state's IRB application (2 hours), sent georgetown's IRB stuff (that one was easy), photocopied all the IRB forms I need to send to people (purdue's approval, a description of my study, and the results of the IRB traning i did in october), scanned the teacher evaluations i got last semester to include it in my teaching portfolio due tomorrow, ... and it's only 7pm! ok, i work for one more hour and then i watch a movie! bend it like beckham, anyone knows it?

oh, and if anyone needs a language program director/associate director or teacher educator/ESL/TESOL program administrator or something like that, please LET ME KNOW!
