Things that I am up to
Sorry, I’ve been trying to sketch more as Erica and I are taking a drawing class at the Durham Arts Council. I really need to get my scanner working again.
I greatly enjoyed the Triangle Bloggers Conference and was sad that I couldn’t make it to the meetup that came as a result. However, it was Erica’s birthday so there was celebrating to be done!
Meanwhile, this weekend is my first PhD interview. The nice folks at the School of Journalism and Mass Communication are my hosts for the weekend. I’m fairly nervous at this point, which probably explains the sudden urge to do anything other than work.
Due to miscellaneous matters at school, work and home I have not worked out at all this weekend. Erica has talked me into doing the Triangle Triathlon this summer, which means I need to get my workout… er… on.
update: Got my scanner working!
PhD huh? You wacky academic you! So you’re applying for a Journalism phD? What’s the story?
Basically there’s a prof I want to work with doing a lot of research into the psychology of HCI (or media effects in journalism-speak)… That and they have a really nice fellowship program. I applied to SILS as well, in fact my interview is tomorrow morning.
