slept in.
made a great breakfast with danny.
and then got to experience the gorgeous weather of the day.
we meant to head out and play frisbee but got a bit sidetracked.
first tried to sign into the tier4 register, but ran into our course convener so we had a bit of a jumbled prolonged conversation with alex. then waited for the office to open again to actually sign the register. and then went to carlos' flat to get him to play frisbee because his phone isn't working. and then finally got to throw the disc around a bit.
but i had to leave them to that to pop in on nigel and aine's meeting. we discussed a bit of what we wanted to do for our project. and luckily nigel has some literature he's going to get to us to help with that.
then a lecture by david about formal and informal learning but moreso just about the QCA and DELTA projects.
and then back to a bit of frisbee playing with carlos, danny, victoria, and brittany.
such a gorgeous weather day. i just wanted to be outside.
had some dinner with victoria quick before stats.
stats turned out to be a kind of awkward "chat" with both george and alex about what we'd be doing stats wise for our dissertations. which i dont think went so well. and was moreso alex talking than anyone else.
george supported my idea which was nice. and actually alex was a bit more positive but still kind of threw off how i was feeling about it after meeting with david yesterday. ugh. i can't seem to figure it out. i thought david and i were on the same page and that i was on the right track. but then alex just always makes me think i'm nowhere near any sort of working idea. so now i need to figure out how to take what they've all said in relation to what i thought i was on the track of figuring out.

I think it's typical grad school experience for them (whomever "they" may be) to always make you feel that way. I think it's supposed to be part of the process - you think you're on the right page and you start working and you think you're ready to go, and then you have another meeting and you leave feeling like you're back to square one.
ReplyDeleteRinse and repeat.
In my experience, it ends up that, eventually, after this cycle repeats itself enough times, you end up running short on time, saying "screw it" and going with what you've got so far, only to end up where you were supposed to be all along with a great result.
So the result is the same and ends up being great, but the cyclical process from Indecision Hell is just meant to make you always feel unsure of yourself.
As the Brits would say, "Brilliant!"
