Saturday, September 30th

Good sentence scrambling task yesterday evening - they are frequently used in social psychology. Mine left me with quite a headache followed by extreme nausea this morning. I don't even remember how many gin tonics I had, that is a bad sign. I did have a nice evening though, even if I suffered today (by not feeling like doing anything, except be outside in the fresh air - so I tried doing stats homework on the deck with my jacket on. Got stuck as usual but made some progress and eased my conscience a little - can't take a whole weekend off).
Trouble is I know I am going to become incredibly busy at some point very soon and that makes me nervous. I have to hand in an IRB with at least two studies in it by next week Tuesday and right now we are still discussing how to do the first, not to mention the other two. But to do the other two I need to have sorted out the first one, and I need to get the opportunity to ask J a pile of questions which are on a paper I take to every meeting and never get round to asking.
So all I did today was walk the dog for an hour and bike to the gas station because they had given me the wrong phone card. Exciting. Actually feeling just a bit lonesome here alone at home. I could have gone out this evening but both options meant driving at least 1 hour and that I did not feel like + I have a long day tomorrow. First I go on a 6 mile treck which starts at 9 am (the treck is actually rather short, don;t like that) and then we have our soccer match. It is a straight out system, don't win tomorrow and that's it for the season. They had very few women for tomorrow so I could not really say no, and my knee is a lot better. Putting ice on it helps.
So perhaps I'll go and get my stuff ready for that instead of wondering how I am going to get through what seems like a long evening.
