Trying to be productive in the mean time


history?

Recommended Posts

Yeah, like pretty much anyone reading this, I'm obviously flipping out waiting to hear back from schools (because, after all, why else would we be reading this site if we weren't?). At any rate, in order to distract myself momentarily from said flipping out, I am also trying to do some productive things with my copious free time....

So, my question to you, dear waiters, is whether you have any killer grad resources that you anticipate using in school, or perhaps have even already started using?

I've got a list of daily reads that I've tucked into my favorite RSS reader. I'm still working on getting a good list together, but it's a start.... They're obviously going to be bent towards my research area (history of information), but I'd be interested to see other folks' resources, in any area:

PS: Sorry if any of them got screwed up. I did some quick UNIX parsing to get a clean list, and I know it wasn't quite perfect.....

try this one:

It's a mailing list called Tomorrow's Professor...it's particularly useful for those who aspire to join the faculty of some college in the near or distant future... as for those who're waiting to hear from the grad schools impatiently or otherwise, this blog might just tell you what the evaluators of your application are upto :)
