happy grant application day!

[forbiddencharm]

he approved my application! as this is a BIG MAN in archaeological circles, he had been very clear that he wouldn't let me submit anything he was not proud to have his name associated with. which i took as a hint that the last thing he'd seen wasn't good enough for the nsf. and getting almost no sleep for the week before i turned it in worked, because he said that he didn't have any revisions he wanted from his first read through, that he'd go through in more detail to look for anything small, and that he thought it was a really solid proposal. yay!!!

in fact, he said that the only reason he thought i might not get it was because of him. i discuss some of the more, as he put it, 'touch-feely' theories, which i am reacting against, but because those theories grew from some of his work he is associated with them, and since the nsf is not a fan of the touchy feely they might reject it because of that association. and heck, i can totally handle being rejected on account of him!

happy girl!
