Against rather steep odds, Mari & I got the grant we applied for to fund me in Finland. This means I can actually go.

Sent in my res permit app yesterday - unless they go outside of their window of how long it's supposed to take, I'll have it by the time I need to leave ;). But I applied for an extra-long stay just in case I don't have it by that time.

This also means I do not need to work myself to death trying to finish prelim #2 by Sept. 1 in order to apply for the smaller-but-still-sufficient travel grant offered by my university. Priority is now redistributed to finishing the paper and designing 2 experiments. November 1 is a good goal, though, because then I can be a dissertator before leaving.

So freakin' cool. If anyone wants me to bring back some salmiakki, speak up!

Congratulations! That's very exciting :-)

*now plotting ways to get up to Helsinki before March 1*

That would be excellent! :)
Again, no idea what kind of crash space I'll have to offer (I'll know when I get there), but you would both be welcome to stay with me if there's room. Or you could ask [livejournal.com profile] chrysaphi about hotels - she stayed in a hotel somewhere when she visited me in 2001. (OTOH, that was so many voyages ago for her, she may well not remember a thing. :) )
