Odd

Every two weeks, my EdD. has accountability hours...someone in administration and my advisor hold them. I'd only gone once before when I had a couple of questions about my dissertation committee two weeks ago. Today my advisor just texted me that she was there that she was there. I can't figure her out...she didn't tell me I should go, and I had nothing new to report or questions. I guess she's just really busy and/or absent-minded? I dunno. At the end, she asked me if her suggestions on my dissertation had helped, which was a little frustrating because she never emailed me them like she had said she would. Then she asked when we were meeting next...we didn't have anything scheduled though. I made an appointment for next week. I'm meeting with one of my two readers this week too I think. I'll have to email the other one too.

Today I went to a talk on Indigenous people in Philadelphia. It was okay--not very clear though. I would like the basics. I need to immerse myself in history for my new teaching gig.

I still haven't heard back from the ESOL program, and it's been a week. So odd too. I emailed them again. I don't get why people can't be transparent, but whatever. Fingers crossed.

My money order for my emergency ESOL cert went through finally, so that's a relief.

My plan for my dissertation is to finish Chapters 1-3 by the beginning of October for the IRB review process, and then do my research November through May. I hope I can find enough professors quickly. I have to finish up Chapter 1 this week. Phew.

I'm getting a little nervous about the new school year.
