Approved

My first professional development request at my new school, for money to travel to ASA in San Francisco, has been approved.  During my interview I was told that the application process for this funding is little more than a bureaucratic hoop, but that didn’t stop me from worrying that the economic downturn would prevent somebody who has been on campus only four times from getting approval.  Now that I have received it I am free to pay my final “cheap” conference registration fee.
