Today I told myself I couldn't leave school until I wrote the introduction for my review paper (or at least one single-spaced page of it). I left at 9:30 pm, which sadly means I was at school for 14 hours. Oh well. I really really really want to get this review paper done (again) and do it well. I think the introduction is the hardest part of the paper for me because my last draft was really unfocused. I had to think really hard about how to structure it this time, and I think I might be on to something. I also found some cool new (to me) literature to incorporate.
For most of today I worked on my proposal that is due tomorrow. I substantially modified an earlier proposal and I still have a few small changes to make to it tonight. I like to finish things, set them aside for a while (even if only a few hours) and re-read it before submission. I also have to prepare my game theory presentation for tomorrow. I've been meaning to write more about this. Maybe tomorrow I will.
I also managed to write some emails about various pre-trip logistical questions I'd like to sort out, which includes determining my eligibility for next year's NSF GRF. More on that later too.
In exciting personal life news, Jon and I are now ant farmers :-) The much-anticipated ants arrived the other day and are making tunnels like crazy.

Jon has been wanting those ants for years, it seems. I'm so glad he (and you) finally got them!
