Hilariously, the past couple of weeks have taken my previous posts and turned them on their heads.

First off, one of my professors was uncomfortable with being video taped and decided after the fact that he didn’t like it.  And even though the second professor was okay with it, the first’s status as Supreme Badass of the Program cancelled my hopes of launching the MSIT program into the 20th century.  My only consolation for hundreds of dollars spent on equipment and dozens of hours spent on video hosting and editing is that there’s now a conversation happening about video recording.

I also did not get Donald Norman as my advisor for my independent study.  That’s a bummer.  Although the chap I’ve been recommended, Alan Wolff, is doing some pretty interesting research in HCI and I think things will be just fine.

On a related note, this quarter has been pretty brutal so far.  I’m blitzing my homework all day Sunday, and Monday night, so that I can do movie nights on Tuesday, meet with the group on Wednesday, and fix up and submit things on Thursday.  Friday nights are quite alone time when I stare out the window at all the other kids playing while I try to go to sleep early.
