Last day for ILSSA elections! If you are an ISLS student member and would like the link, please let me know!

The amount of positions I have applied to since March....oof. How does one get employed again after being away from the non-academic work force for 6 years?

📣 Calling all ISLS student members 📣 It's time to vote in ILSSA elections for next year's committee! Check your email for the link to vote through July 24th!

So, I'm writing up a case as another form of analysis. I've coded and coded and coded and was told by one of my advisors to just, "write up the case." Cool, cool, cool. I know I am going into WAY too much detail, but my brain says...keep going! Write the details! Write them ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL. Help.

One of those days where writing a paragraph takes an hour. One step at a time!

Something that has helped me is to think of my first draft as "Draft Zero." This original draft is not even as good as a first one. Just write! There's zero consequence for just putting something down on the page. Just by changing the name from "first" to "zero," my brain suddenly became free.

I've shared this with some folks, but not on here. For years and years during my doc program, I would have such a HORRIBLE time beginning to write. Often I was paralyzed by the fear of not being perfect, not being "right" - so I just wouldn't write at all. I still deal with that fear, but....

We're extending nominations through July 8th!

I'm still not rested from my two-week road trip (and the several intense weeks of prepping for ISLS and grading for a course I taught at Loyola University before & after...), so instead of forcing myself to start writing up a case for my dissertation, I'm going to clean and then head to the beach.

ISLS student members, are you interested in joining ILSSA for the 2024-2025 academic year?! Nominations are OPEN through July 1st, 2024! More info about the various roles, as well as the nomination and upcoming election processes, are here: docs.google.com/document/d/1...
