A First Time For Everything
Two fantastic firsts yesterday.
On the writing front, I banked my first cheque as a freelance journalist. (I feel rich now!)
And on the PhD front, I submitted my first conference paper. This was a submission to the ACL student workshop - if it's accepted, I'll be off to Singapore in summer! The paper reviewing is supposed to be blind, so I can't tell you what my paper is about until I find out whether it's been accepted - roll on 12th April.
These things are supposed to come in threes, so I'm waiting for #3.... :)
