Summertime, and the living is busy

I love it when I tell someone that I'm a professor, and they respond with something like, "Oh, it must be great to have the whole summer off!" Especially today: with my spring grading finally out of the way, I'm making up my lengthy summer to-do list. Some highlights:

• Clean up my office disaster
  
• Attend this conference (and attend an executive committee meeting)
• Attend and speak at this conference
  
• Finally get the revisions done for this paper (which should have been done months ago)
• Write a journal version of this paper
• Get a grant proposal done
• Read and edit theses as two students get ready to defend
• Get some chapters done for a textbook project that were promised for months ago
• Make some headway on a new consulting contract
• Lots more that I'm forgetting, for sure

Yep. Another lazy, coronas-on-the-beach summer.
