adrian

friday, 30 september.

adrian and i had an amazing long impromptu meeting on friday. he came in and remarked that we hadn't met in awhile and so he was checking in. although that check in became me ranting about it, him attempting to fix it problems, checking in about the studies, him offering support, us problem solving to salvage my one study, and strategizing for how to continue for the next year to prepare me for both uk/europe and north american academia situations.

it was EXACTLY what i needed. he re-affirmed my issues with it and with my studies. told me i was doing better than i thought with numbers for my study and helped me think about how to salvage my missing data problem. super glad he took an extended amount of time to spend with me. that was amazing. and pretty much regenerated my efforts and motivation with some things.

ugh. stupid uni things, but yay adrian.

also, i spent most of the day editing my article to then email it back to david. sadly i cut out a bunch of results that i think are interesting, but it is cut down to a reasonable length and is focused. so hopefully that will be better. i think i'll still have work to do with it, but hopefully i made significant progress. and hopefully david will agree with what i did.

the rest of the day was spent looking at and re-typing numbers in data files. have some more to do with that, but hopefully on tuesday i can get a more complete overview of where i am with numbers and things. (yay for having direction with the data after speaking with adrian).
