Trying to teach my students how to do a proper research paper has inspired me. I realized how much I actually miss the process, almost to the degree where I wish I was back in school and asked to do one. Maybe because I know I was really darn good at it.
So I've been reading some really cool stuff, and as is my typical habit I was pursuing further information on the topic just out of curiosity and found myself composing a bibliography "just in case" I might feel inspired to write a paper on the topic I've been synthesizing. It's the thrill of the hunt, much akin to bargain day at your favorite store.
I'm getting excited over great source material like:
"Numeric Permutations"
"Symbol-string sensitivity and adult performance in lexical decision"
"Sublexical units and the split fovea"
Ah, I feel young academic again!
