yoda meeting

17 january
monday.

went to school and went to the library to acquire social psychology and environmental psychology text books. and while i checked 4 or 5 of them out, i have to say i haven't really found the answers i was hoping for from them. but i tried. and downloaded my data from the pilot study of last week.

then i had my meeting with adrian. i love having meetings with adrian. leaving them i always have an immense amount of work and tasks and thinking to do. but each time i get reassured of what i'm doing and actually do make some progress. there must be something to that whole socratic method and whatnot.

so while i wasn't able to give great definitions, i was able to articulate the beginnings of my justification which was at least something. and apparently being more confused means that we're getting somewhere.

so i was left with the task of writing proto chapter 1. (no small undertaking there) and also to write a press release that hopefully could be out before the beginning of february (although that timing seems unlikely as it involves another university department aside from adrian and myself) and dealing with my pilot data and improving my questionnaires.

intense.

i then experienced what the the gym considers to be a zumba class. i'm going with the realization that the instructor heard of zumba as a concept and thought 'hey that's neat' i'll try to make up something that is like it and call it zumba. but zumba is a thing, an instructed, programmatic, learn to do it thing. so scottish zumba left something to be desired.

and then it was orchestra rehearsal.

it was a loooong multi-faceted day.
