What am I doing right now?

Teaching

• 👨🏻‍🏫 Just about to start teaching Linguistics Tools and Varieties of English in the Fall.

Research

• 📋 Putting together my tenure portfolio.

• 📃 Working on what I guess I’d call a “desk R&R” that I got from a journal.

• 📃 Awaiting reviewer comments for five submitted manuscripts.

• 👨🏻‍🔬 Working with students on projects about perception of affricates in Utah English and categorizing meta-comments about language variation.

Personal

• 📘 Reading Brandon Sanderson’s Mistborn: The Hero of Ages and listening to Housel’s The Psychology of Money.

• 🎶 Thinking about what new organ music to prepare now that I’ve played this piece in church.

• 🧶 Knitting two different scarves (a white one with a basic rib and a brown one with mossy diamonds)
