1. Gave a presentation about my experience in Cuba yesterday. It went over really well and I got a lot of positive feedback. One of my major professor's students came and she said after listening to my presentation, she wanted to go to Cuba, too.
2. An abstract I submitted was accepted to a conference at UT Austin. I'm really excited about it because it was the conference that I most wanted to attend. It is on a much broader scale than Romance Languages, and will give me a bit of versatility because the paper I'm presenting is a little outside of my usual scope. I'll get partnered with a senior scholar and my paper may even have the chance to get published.
3. I got an email from my professor who is now at a prestigious Ivy League and she's arranging for me to spend the summer there either as her research assistant or as a research fellow of some sort for me to get research underway for my dissertation. She'll find out for sure whether she's won any of the grants she's applied for by the end of the month.
4. Upon my return from Thanksgiving break, a very sweet friend gave me a sunflower and a mix CD he created for me. He said they were songs he liked that he thought I would like, too. The first one goes like this.
