This post is a reminder of the big to-do’s coming up for me…

  1. Graduate Research Conference presentation on Friday 13 June. I haven’t done the report yet but will get it done today (I hope - I’m writing this post at Tullamarine airport for a flight to Adelaide for my sister’s birthday and a visit to hear a PhD presentation on abuse in the Uniting Church - interesting stuff - for a nerd like me).
  2. Finish first chapter by 13 June (almost all done, but every time I get into it I realise I have so much more reading to do, and end up putting it on hold to read more - have decided to stop reading and start writing and see what gaps come up)
  3. Presentation on online religious advertising for CMRC
  4. Presentation on emerging church bloggers in Australia for CMRC
  5. Presentation on meanings, methods and ethics in blog research for CMRC (found out I’m on this panel this morning) headdesk
  6. Presentation for AoIR doctoral colloquium (found out I got in yesterday)
  7. Presentation on rhetorics and realities in web 2.0 - men, women, literacy and religious authority for AoIR
  8. Presentation on religious podcasting for AoIR (had a response from a religious podcaster the other week, and I’m looking forward to talkign with him about his experiences and achievements)
  9. Complete organising the data I’ve collected
  10. Complete collecting all the data (even though I don’t think I need all of it)
  11. Complete all the interviews (has been a while since I’ve contacted bloggers to arrange interviews)

Is anyone willing to do me a favour and eat and sleep for me? Will save me having to do it.
