Had two PhD proposal defenses today and both of my supervisees passed and got very encouraging comments. Very proud of my two students working on different aspects of #ecocriticism, #ecoGothic and #animalstudies with me.
I'm doing better at Karrom and am officially on the "women's doubles team" for my Centre at the Faculty Games gulp. On the one hand it's distracting me from other academic work. On the other hand, I'm having so much fun!!
It's such a joy (and relief) to finally see my debut novel being talked up a bit more. I waited for this for MONTHS and had given up all hope.
