P.A.D. model and the future

thursday
18 november

a full day on campus (with a trip to the post office beforehand).

studied in the postgrad room before my meeting with adrian.
it was nice to meet with adrian. we didn't meet last week and he didn't lecture this week so it's been awhile.
it really is pretty awesome to get to work one-to-one with him=makes this degree worth it.

we discussed my take on the Mehrabian and Russell 1974 etc text. it's a pretty interesting concept.
i'm going to integrate the P.A.D. model into what i've been planning to look at in relation to playlists.
so now i am charged with re-working what i've already turned into the ethics board, re-conceptualizing the basis for my research, and hypotheses to go along with it.

by reading this text, it may fundamentally alter my research pathway. we'll see - i have a lot of work to do now as a result of our meeting (but that's a good thing...)

then i had lunch with jane-marie. i decided i'd invite her to lunch to have some more social interaction - phd = lonely.
we just went to the cafeteria in the main building before going back to do more work in the office. but it was nice to have lunch with her.

after some more work in the office which involved me altering my dissertation to turn it into a journal article (especially annoying since i had done some work on it in the morning which somehow magically disappeared into the computer void). it's about half done. i have to say - deleting and adapting dissertation text is about 57 times easier than writing the thing in the first place.

after that, i went to the gym and biked for an hour. 20.5 km. that was great too. success for the day.
