The problem with doing a 'research project' for classes is that it is never enough. Never enough time, never enough subjects, never enough data. I tend to long for longitudinal studies... which never fit in to a nice semester-long, nor even year-long course. Time to start that dissertation and let it percolate for a while...

After I get back from Mexico, that is ( Read more... )

Wow it has been forever since I updated... sorry! I've been busy. Busier than usual, even. There have been a flurry of birthdays, Fi's, mine, and several second-graders in Fi's circle. There have been photo shoots to edit. 16 total in August, and I still have several to go. I'm also taking a class at HGSE this fall on another type of brain ( Read more... )
