If you're wondering...

Here's what I'm intending to do in the next two weeks, before classes start again.

I'd like to get all of this done by Friday:

• Organize my 15 pages of notes about the Geneva Convention and convey them physically to G.


• Create my whole human subjects packets for both studies (food beliefs and idealism, ideals as folk concepts). This includes applications, informed consent forms, completed survey instruments, debriefing for the two using student pools, recruitment text for the one using a web sample, and something to entertain the users of the web version. Oh, and do my online certification quiz.


• Give our programmer guidance on the revision he's doing to our project website. - waiting for another person


• Do another round on my manuscript for using Item Response Theory methods in tobacco dependence model development; pester my co-author for his most recent files.


• Do another round on my brief report manuscript on economics of adjunctive aids in smokeless tobacco cessation.


• Visit my ORI office at least once (tomorrow?).


• Pay my UO bill.


• Finish reading A Corpse in the Koryo, because there are 41 people waiting for it! Don't worry, I don't have the library's only copy.

Then I shift to spring break mode, but I still have things to get done:

• Do a final revision of my maligned species essay, "Lessons Learned from Yellowjackets."


• Read Existential Guilt: A Phenomenological Study by Donald Morano.


• Read Environmental Problems and Human Behavior by Gardner & Stern.


• E-mail Carol Dweck and ask if anyone's looked into implicit theories of social and personal change.


• Reread the persuasion draft and try to read the papers I've acquired on the topic this year.


• Do the taxes, when R. gets his receipts ready.


• Maybe give the kitchen a thorough cleaning.


• Maybe work in the garden.


• Call at least one person to get an estimate for removing our poor old cottonwood.

Fun things planned:

• Read Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.


• Watch Bleak House again, if I've earned enough good karma with the library reserve list.


• Go on a walk every day.

Cherry trees and magnolias were blooming today, and birch trees were leafing out. On the other hand, Hana's restaurant is gone; no more kimchee udon soup for eve_prime.
