Super productive day, but I don’t feel much like being expository tonight. Mostly because I’m pooped! List form it is:
- Cogneuro class this morning – learned about EEGs. Very neat!
- Met with lab professor to set up research plan for this quarter. Starting a Monday reading group (to count as my “directed reading”) and a Wednesday hands-on training deal. Professor wants me to be trained to analyze the raw fMRI data he has collectd but not processed yet. Also intend on starting a new study (to be partially directed by my interests?) and gathering pilot data already this quarter!
- Spent a while at the gym doing generic cardio stuff (stairs, mostly) cause I think it helps destress me a bit. Also tried an actual weight lifting device, and now my arms are sore in the strangest places!
- Made oatmeal cookies with orange-essenced cranberries and white chocolate chips. They turned out pretty good, for a recipe I hadn’t tried before. Should bake them a little less next time.
- Did a bunch of paper trolling (as in, reference chasing and google scholar browsing) for papers to start our reading group off with. Too many choices already, but I found some really good background papers for myself at least.
- Traced the pattern for Lewis’ PJs onto sturdier tracing fabric, and cut out all the pieces. It’s starting to look like I’m doing something with this!
That’s all from me tonight. This week is going crazy slow!
