Back in research mode

Last week was pretty shitty for different reasons, but it definitely feels good to get back to my research. I haven't taken any break after the Quals as I still have some momemtum going. I'm just taking it a little easier during week-ends :) I have a couple of papers that I'm trying to get out and I'm still planning on proposing by the end of the summer. I'm excited, trying to make progress on other aspects of my life, and planning some trips in the US and abroad. As for now, I'll be in Washington D.C. in June, Ireland, France and Switzerland in July, Alaska in September and Costa Rica in December. And in between, I'll be glued to my computer, trying to bring my contribution to the field. Research and travel plans, it feels pretty good :D
