can't wait for April to come...

crazy day yesterday... trying to catch various supervisors dotted in different parts of the macro and local world...

experienced what the Swiss-Psychologist Piaget might term as "dis-equilibrium" as i went over the un-finished manuscript to piece a seminar talk together... and somehow regained "equilibrium" via Vygotskyian 'scaffolding' from C, my old supervisor... [excuse the silly lingo -- partly to do with overemphasis from having to mark essays...] more scouting of current research papers and reading required to supplant my discussion... (when will i ever get to read the list of interesting books?! instead of dry, jargon-filled scientific papers?! ... scientists don't write like Luria (Russian neuropsychologist whose writings could be described as 'romantic' science because he gives the subject of his study humanity) anymore... SIGH...)

my plate is piled up... marking/tutorial/programming/experimental-design/2 posters/funding report/funding renewal/oh yes... and seminar this thurs! help.

then i got a note really late today to say that my funding application in aid of attending the conference in NY has been approved... so it seems i could sing "New York... New York..." perhaps... let's just see if i can still get a ticket!

i can't wait for April to arrive... just so i can get a breather... perhaps...

[therefore... in case i am not spewing more nonsense for a while... i'm just trying very hard to be sensible elsewhere... wish me luck!]
