Tuesday, October 3d

I don't think I've worked so much in one day for ages. It was one of those days when you get up very early (at least for me 6.45 is early..) and know that you are not going to manage to do all you should (which was indeed true). By 2pm I had already so completely had it that I was so baffled by my statistics class that I could not even ask questions (save one pretty stupid one that indicated complete non-comprehension: how does this relate to the sem model. Answer: it does not, this is not about the sem model. Was actually an eye-opener for me as I realized I was following a class that was not only about sem, explained why I could not comprehend how the different topics we covered fitted together. Answer: they don't). So I run another experimental session, and again we looked whether my manipulations had worked (at 7.30 this evening... And the answer to that one was J's: "I have never seen such weird data in years, have you coded them correctly?" Why does this always happen to me? The other hour of our meeting this evening was spent looking at my presentation for tomorrow. The rest of the evening until now was prepared redoing my presentation for tomorrow. I have about 2.5 hours tomorrow morning before class to finish it. I do need to go to bed, but I can;t really relax yet.
This week I will not feel lonely: 2 people suggested different activities for this evening - both of which I had to postpone, and I was invited to a housewarming. It felt like being at home again, I suddenly got stressed because I have so many evenings out. NICE!!! So despite, or because of work 'stress' (not really, just lot to do) I feel really quite happy. I like the ideas in my presentation, it's exciting (now all we need is the ***? study to work.
Off to relax.
