this week is what the past few months have boiled down to. a week full of VID:s. very important deadlines. i'm involved in, at various levels of participation, four applications for the ec fp7 call 4, all having to do with multilingual information access. i'll also apply for funding from the HS call by vetenskapsrådet. not to mention the review work still to be completed for the "joint conference of the 47th annual meeting of the association for computational linguistics and the 4th international joint conference on natural language processing of the asian federation of natural language processing". now there's a name worth shortening. acl-ijnlp 2009. i keep my fingers crossed, hoping that the kids don't catch anything that requires them to stay out of daycare the coming three days.

i'm enjoying every minute of it:)

better get me another cup of coffee.
