Came up with a handy dandy definition of "participatory action research" today. (I often like to make up handy dandy definitions to remind me of things when I'm trying to memorize them so I can be a big time awesome Dr. PhD who quotes people at will. 

Anyway... Often associated with a feminist methodology...

Participatory Action Research: "Why don't you tell me what you want me to tell you about you..."

TA DA.

That's when you know you're too busy and there too many tasks on your multi-tasking calendar because for some reason I wrote the above statement on the side of a letter I was reading... right next to "be sure to include in a short bio." 

I remember what that statement was about - I recently found out that I was selected for a Ford Foundation fellowship (YAY! More on that application process coming soon) and I needed to make sure to include that in my bio. 

Grad school - heck all of it - heck even life is sort of a constant revision and update of your CV. The other day someone said to me "you know Deans, they have CVs that are like 50 pages long!" and I thought "why?" 

Apparently, it's a thing. My CV is growing. Hence (yes I said hence...) I must add into my bio that I am a Ford Fellow, little old me... 

And for some reason I also need to remind myself of something or someone that is lethargic with a history of vomiting. 

Who knows what it had to do with (I don't, quite honestly, cause my brain is filled with, well at the moment - orange chicken and the reading I need to finish by tomorrow). But I feel like it could make a really good prompt for a short story... 

More to add to my list of things to do...
