I learned today that in addition to the G.R.E., grad schools everywhere should require (and pay for) speed reading courses. The exorbitant amount of reading that is required is a known and should be anticipated and dealt with in a head-on fashion. When I'm in the midst of the huge amount of text and articles I tend to have a head on and it's with my head hitting on my desk.
Started my qualitative research project tonight with the first interview. It was pleasant and now to compile the field notes and start transcription. I hope that I'm faster at that than the written word. Couldn't resist the urge to chill.
Found out today that one of my parent's close friends and a role model for me, Agnes Hartman, had passed away this week. We definitely would have paid our condolences if we had known. Some things, like a life celebration, just take precedence over our insane schedules and to do lists. Sometimes it is really hard to decide between best and better.
