wow, it's been a damn long while, hasn't it?
okay, so here's a quick update for anyone who misses me. :p
for the past month or so, i've been running experiments in the phonology lab. and i am finally done!! yay. so now i just need to analyze the data... which consists of 40 x 4 x (24 + 6) words. and for each word, i need to make measurements of (1) voice onset timing, (2) vowel length, (3) vowel formants, and (4) overall amplitude. fun stuff, yeah? i'm too tired to do the math myself. well actually.. i'm not, but doing the math and seeing the answer would make me grumpy. really. :(
what else? i've realized that procrastinating (by way of world of warcraft... yes, i know, it's horrible. :( the good news is, the charm of the game being brand spankin' new to me is fading, so i'm not obsessed with it anymore. that is, i can actually convince myself to not play night and day. xP ) anyway, where was i? oh, right, procrastinating. is. bad. i have sooo much to do before the semester is over (which is in, like, a month?!)!! ling 290e study. my lombard project. research paper for rhet 189. midterm + essay + portfolio for vietnamese class. oh, and statement of purpose and applications for grad school. wah!
alrighty, i need to get back to my spectrogrammin'. (steph, wait, are these spectrograms or spectrographs? grams, right? i think i forgot!) sorry for the depressing update. :p maybe the moral of the story is "procrastinating doesn't pay," or better yet, "priscilla is slowly drowning in a pile of work."
