Hello World!
I survived my dissertation defense on Tuesday! This week has been crazy… orientation for my new job, defending, department meetings, all faculty meetings, relatives, a party, the mega mall, and a daughter with pink eye. My head is still swimming.
As I transition from grad student to “assistant professor” I am nervous. This is because I am working at a private liberal arts school for one year. Quite different for the IA girl who has attended only public universities. I’m excited, but I can’t believe how different some things are. Like the honor code in taking exams. I understand it, but I’m glad someone told me about it!
This week has been about being “on”. Meaning, I’ve had little time for myself except for my commute time. But now I’m a Dr.!!!! More later!
Dear Blogger,
I am really interested in what you have to say about motherhood, academia, and blogging. I am conducting a survey study of academic mothers who blog and I would like to invite you to participate. The survey is completely anonymous and takes about an hour to complete (and you can do it in more than one session). A full description of the study can be found when you click on the link below. Feel free to pass on the link to the survey to other blogging academic mothers you think might be interested. I hope you will consider participating. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at annie.fox@uconn.edu.
Thanks!
Annie Fox
