It's Wednesday already. Mr. supervisor has cancelled my meeting this morning and hasn't gotten back to yet with my stimuli, and probably won't until next week, just because that's what he does and because he is overworked himself. One of the smarter people (in my eyes anyway) has just signed up to do her honours year part time, because she seems to be crumbling under the pressure and she is far from done doing her stimulus material. The other person who apparently was ready to start collecting had to pull out again and rework all his material since there was a problem with everything.
At this point, no answer at all from my supervisor may not be the worst thing in the world, at least I can do my research.
It freaks me out. It's June 29th. Ideally I need 45 participants, who have to come in twice on 2 different days. If I start testing on July 01, which just is not going to happen and is 100% unrealistic and I would have a participant every single day, which is also unrealistic then I would be done by August 17th [not to forget the coursework that I will also have to do while I am ripping my ass out doing my thesis stuff]. Since I won't start testing until mid July earliest, I most probably won't be done until end of August, mid September. And besides, where am I gonna get 45 people from? They are not just gonna FALL out of the SKY!!! I wanted to be done writing up my entire thesis by mid-end September and submit it do Mr. Supervisor, because apparently the last time around he took 4 weeks to get back to some of the students and my thesis is due October 24th!!! Maybe I can just go cry. I can't even do sports these days, because I am either too tired or it's raining cats and dogs.
On the upside ... (if there even is one), I have found a BUNCH of articles this morning that seem to be spot on and exactly what I need *hallelujah*.
Maybe I should just go jogging in the rain. It'll be one hell of a refreshing experience. That's for sure!
Later.
