Like many others, I’m scrambling to get ready for the Fall semester. I’m mostly ready, but I like to get a lot of other projects either out of the way (or well under way) before classes start. Otherwise, they get shoved to the back burner.
I’m finally starting to structure my long-neglected Bolivia politics wiki, currently concentrating on entries for MAS & MNR. These entries will serve as templates for the rest of the project, which will take at least a year to complete. I’ve applied for a research assistant, which would help considerably.
Beyond that, there’s manuscripts (and revisions to manuscripts) to send out. Then there’s the upcoming LASA conference in Montreal. And, of course, my two-year visiting position ends next June. So there’s that. I’ve no idea where I’ll be living in 10 months (or how I’ll pay for food, rent, and student loan bills).
Ever considered living abroad? :-)
From my part, highly recommendable and doable too (even with family). ;-)
