I found out today that I did not get the $6,000 grant I applied for. While I am disappointed, I know it is for the best. How is this for the best? Basically, I would have had to spend money to fly back to Penn in the fall to give a presentation on a research project that isn't complete and potentially not what I proposed in the first place. Soooo, my life is a bit simplified, come September. But I am still sad. I hope I do not have to take out more loans. Here's to hoping I get the $3,000 fellowship and that the Dean can drum up support for me! Did I mention the Macedonian Embassy is asking me how I will pay for my time in Skopje? :D It never ends.
Today, I am wearing what I call my Shark Skirt. It is silvery grey and looks like shark skin. I have a review board meeting (remember those pesky homeless housing proposals?) and I want them to think I am a professional and that I know what I am talking about! Ha! I figure I would intimidate them with my shark-like appearance. I resisted filing my teeth into points. I don't really want to intimidate people, but I do want to feel confident, which can be intimidating. Ok, I am rambling. Back to the books.
