Apr. 6th, 2005 06:40 pmTo my immense relief, I had five people show up at study group today. Last week, no one showed and I was worried that it meant I'd been so horribly ineffectual in February that they'd decided they'd rather string themselves from the ceiling of Con Hall than listen to me blather on for another hour. But as it turns out, they just forgot last week.
I was up until 8am writing a paper, with a short sleep break from 2:15am to 3:45am and a longer nap (post-paper) from 10:45am to 2:30pm. The afternoon nap did some good, but it's starting to wear off now and I'm beginning to fade a little. I don't think I'm going to be very productive tonight, so it'll probably be a social night and back to the grind early tomorrow.
In between finishing the paper and taking a nap, I met with CultureProf to ask if he might consider becoming my unofficial supervisor. He seemed receptive to the idea and interested in my research topics. I'm going to spend the summer bouncing ideas off of him and getting to know him a little better, and by fall I'm hoping to have both an actual dissertation topic and a good idea of how well we'll work together.
