The weather was perfect the entire time I was in New York, and I was welcomed back to North Carolina on Sunday to 99*F and 12 new mosquito bites. But I also got to spend a surprise evening with my whole family because they were in town celebrating my sister's birthday!
And now...it is back to the research world!
I have exactly 25 days before I leave for the interview portion of my research in Michigan, California, and North and South Carolina. So its time to center myself again and see what's left:
1) COLOR ANALYSIS 1960-2006 (July 13-19)
2) CONTACT INTERVIEWEES (July 13- August 7)
3) FACTORS portion of Literature Review (July 20-31)
4) Create a MODEL demonstrating the relationship between Observed Trends and Researched Factors (August 3-6)
5) Finalize Travel Plans based around Interview Schedules (August 3-6)
Lets just see if I can pull this off! There's little time for error or the unexpected, but there are very few interruptions in the upcoming weeks and I'm confident that I can keep my head in the game!
