完成したことを自慢してるぅ！
Feeling proud about my accomplishments
I just put this list together as part of a proposal that I am working on to solicit PAYMENT (!) for my ongoing contributions to the Sokendai Oral History and Digital Archives Project. I was officially working for the project this past summer. I say "officially" because at that time I was being paid for my contributions and involvement.
However, when the summer ended, I went home for a short vacation to the States. Then when I returned, I was no longer on the payroll because I was now in Hayama to work on my dissertation. Currently, I am a full-time student and the proud recipient of a UCLA field experience fellowship that (rightfully) expects me to spend most of my working hours on conducting my PhD research - which has just about nothing to do with the Project.
Nevertheless, despite my full-time obligations, I am still quite connected to the project... You see, the project members work right down the hall from me - and in fact, I share my office space with one of the project's post docs). Given my ongoing involvement, I am now putting together a proposal so that I might get !MONEY! for my current and future contributions. (Such as taking copious pictures and notes on the Shonan Rekishi wo Aruku Kai (The Shonan History Walking Club)).
Until I just made the list below, I had no idea that I had actually contributed this much to the project this past summer. Now that is all up on the screen, I feel like publicizing my good deeds just a little bit by publishing them here, right on my blog. Here it goes:
