(no subject)
I thought I was going to have a perfect attendance in my experiments today but the last dude didn't show. Seven out of eight is not bad though. I've run 11 sessions this week so far. Yesterday kind of sucked. I only ran four because I had two 'no shows' and no one signed up for the last slot in the day. I now realize that after about 4 sessions I'm pretty wiped. I try to push seven or eight in a day and I have to arrive at least an hour early to make sure I can get my apparatus set up in time. This means I have been arriving at school at 7am. I work in the computer lab from 4pm to 7pm so I'm pretty much running twelve hour days every day with only little breaks in between (unless peeps don't show). There are always so many little menial office things to do like photocopying and stapling and such. I need a secretary, honestly I do. That would make life so much easier. Its hard to get all my other school work done. I have been reading my philosophy texts while subjects are writing questionnaires. Currently I'm reading Augustine's Confessions. Soon I will be reading 'The Prince' by Machiavelli. I'm lucky not to have any other formal lectures but I have a tonne of reading and thinking to do for the other advanced readings classes and research job I work at. I really need to get onto the thesis writing. Its so hard to get going though, especially with these crazy hours. Tonight is probably the craziest of them all because I work on the crisis lines from 8pm to midnight. I feel a little bad going in after a long day like this because I'm always so wiped and then I have to try and help people with suicidal thoughts and stuff. I still think I do a good job though.
