$40,000 Here, $40,000 There, and Pretty Soon You're Talking About Real Money

My grant application got approved. Woo-hoo!

It wasn't without a touch of suspense, of course-- I had a voice mail message from a program officer when I got done with my class, saying that he had called about the grant, and asking me to call back. No word as to whether having him call was good or bad, and of course, he wasn't in his office when I called, so I spent two hours knowing that they had decided, but not knowing what they had decided... This was not the most attentive I've ever been at a department colloquium...

Since then, I've just been marking time to happy hour...

Yay, external funding!
