froggy_dearLong day. Started off by saving loads of images as jpegs, labeling them, getting ready to write them to cd (which entailed deleting half of every folder and removing the word 'copy' from every file name), writing them to cd, labeling the cds, being told that I was not supposed to write ON the cd (the archives I work with are paper, I never did cds before), and having to do the whole delete half, remove word thing over again. The whole thing took almost 4 hours.
Then I had lunch. And got an IM from my dear friend Dave to whom I have not spoken in... years. Hopefully he won't drop off the face of the earth again.
Then I flailed at my thesis.
Then I had a committee meeting. The feedback I got was not unsurprising. Still it was draining. I did feel a little put out and feeling like I wasn't being paid attention to (or my emails anyway) when one individual didn't bring my draft to talk about or a calendar to set a date, despite both being mentioned at one time or another. But I'll eat it. I'm the least invested in that individual. If the committee member on my flist is reading, please to be excusing me.
But good feedback. PR section needs help. Yeah. Seriously. Need focus, definitions, need focussed definitions. These are the three things it comes down to. Not earth shattering, but... I'm not much of an academic. I look at academic papers and they scare the everliving daylights out of me. Except the really poorly written ones. I know I can write. I just have to do it. And do a lot of it. And revise my methodology section and get that out. Pronto.
I think we are escaping tomorrow again. Daniel has this idea that we should, at some point, hike to the top of Mt. Pilchuck, and that I should be able to do it. We'll see.
