How I forgot this, I do not know.
Tuesdays will be problematic!
9:30a autism class. V interesting, lots of work. Volunteered to give presentation early, which means next Tuesday morning. Read article yesterday, need to summarize, create presentation, and verify that it really only takes 10 minutes and doesn't burn anyone's eyeballs.
Class also involves group things, including debates and such. Many articles. Some required, some not.
Then my adviser wanted to talk to me and others about helping make it more possible for me to get data without quite so many being run by _me_. All sorts of helpful, but talking to me _right after_ 1.5 hours of taking notes like a madwoman makes my head hurt. This may require splitting my groups in half again.
Then trying to reduce the numbers of faces so that that portion of my study only takes an hour. Stupid faces. Stupid time consuming. Tomorrow, I need to adjust my medialab stuff to account for faces removed, and faces moved.
I had lunch in there. I do adore my labmates, but I suspect that I will need to request not interactive lunches on tuesdays.
Then 2 hour class. Lots of notes last Thursday, but this time we did ridiculously basic SPSS stuff so that I had to struggle to remain awake.
I will have a research assistant, who I need to contact and introduce to my study. Need to find time to study around running hopefully 5 people a week. (this is why I volunteered to present sooner rather than later. I'm not the only one settling into the routine!)
Buh. People. Today needs less people!
So, hiding.
I am truly enjoying this! And, as expected, 12 month program is, indeed, taxing.
Tomorrow, first classes of the two classes I have not yet had. And presumably time in between to fix up my darned medialab files again.
At least my presentation is _next_ tuesday. I have a weekend, although I will summarize tomorrow, and work on the presentation part on Thursday (ie, which graphs to explain, what just needs a brief summary, etc).
I hope my group members get back to me about meeting times.
Need to organize the papers from our orientations last week, as they are covering my desk and making me more crazy.
Tuesdays are a problem. I suspect no other day quite this much!
So now I hide and play mindless games.
