This isn’t a capstone-level panic, but I’m facing a rather bustling week of school.
First and foremost, I have to (re-)prep my sports informatics prototype for a user test tomorrow. Assuming I can get it available and off of this crappy windows laptop. I’ve got deliverables due on Wednesday at 5p.
I also have to finish an agonizing final edit of an awful research paper I did a year ago. Never having really done one at the time, I made all sorts of mistakes in setting up the work. The pressure of a four-courses spring semester last year forced me into an Incomplete for the course. And though I worked quite hard on a brand new lit review over the summer, the mistakes in my survey questions really created some holes I couldn’t get past. Still can’t, even after a little more experience and many months have passed. I just want it pared down enough to get a grade, any grade, and be done with it.
And then there is the other stuff … PBS project work (deconstructing TikiWiki’s forum) … HCI/d II presentations and grading … Various celebrations of graduation season (having to skip one tonight, to fix some corruptions in the SI prototype) … and clean important corners of this house to prep for relatives coming in this weekend.
I wonder if it gets easier next week. I’m trying not to look too far past tonight.
