Rejection Letter

Got three rejection letters this week. Two from the AEA for proposed sessions, and one just a moment ago from the RWJ. The latter was for a roughly quarter of a million dollar grant proposal, but I knew it had a low chance since RWJ is so competitive. Someone told me the other day that research is a flow, and not a stock. Stay focused, keep working, and the other stuff'll take care of itself. So, these are now sunk costs and I'm moving on.
