http://mamaintranslation.blogspot.com/2015/08/up-in-alps-400-versus-200-view.html
2 sons, 2 languages, 2 countries, 2 worlds (work/home), 2 PhDs. Where translation and in-between-ness have become a way of life. Now with 2 cats and 2 Universities! Sunday, August 02, 2015. Up in the Alps: the 400 versus the 200 View. In the past two days we spent nearly the equivalent of what it would cost to go to two theme parks for a day (or a couple of days in one park) with our family, but it was worth every penny! I can't decide which one I like best. It was my second time (and K's third! My Proje...

Friday, July 10, 2015. 3rd Day of 37. Good morning all the way from San Antonio, TX! Third day of the trip, second night in a hotel.

I want to bring my laptop down with ...

We're about to literally embark on our greatest adventure since the South Africa trip back in 2012, thanks to my mother-in-law's travel agency. I'd link to her, but then I'd blow my cover (hahaha. such a thin cover, I suppose). That amazing trip was, however, only 10 days long. Than the South Africa trip. Pretty Nake...

Because Packing for a 10 Day Trip Is Not Enough. I committed to bringing (home baked [vegan]) cupcakes for my sons's class tomorrow, since he won't be here on his birthday, May 9th. And I have to submit mid-term grades for 24 students whose papers and journals I haven't even read. And the cherry on the cake? That mea...

Forever Changed (Revisiting the South Africa Trip 7 Months Later). Travel changes you forever. That is why I don't mind spending money on travel, quite the contrary, it's the one thing I most enjoy spending with and the one I think it's most worth it. And I blogged a bit about it here. I really have no words to des...

Epic Family Trip Notes. It was lovely to visit my brother-in-law's apartment and place of work, even if only for a short half-hour (before the late Nile cruise). Now we can picture where they live how how their lives are in Cairo. Israel (Eilat and surrounding area is all I know so far) is very Western, but very much li...

75% administration, 25% research… my life on the alt-ac track. August 30, 2011. So, my horrible paper that I have submitted to four journals finally got a revise and resubmit this time, hooray! The trouble is, it is a very big revision that they have requested. Fine, fine, I’ll do it, even though it is extremely painful. So I’m considering asking for an extension for the first time in my life. Anybody have any experience doing that? Should I ask now? August 9, 2011. Job Search in Academe,. 8221; Many of ...

But I must admit it drives me crazy when someone emails me, and I hit “reply” and send a prompt response, only to get their “away” message in return. When the away message says “I will return on September 9 and respond to your email as soon as possible”… and it’s September 15. September 19, 2011 at 11:29 am. Into t...
