Welcome

I made it, through one semester that is. Today my group turned in our final paper for our class. The paper deals with the CHI 2007 problem. The group is taking a little time off for the break but I know we will have to start working on a plan to move forward before we get back if we want to submit to CHI. We still have some testing to do on our concept and a poster to design but for the time being we are done.

This semester was rough especially the few months. I am hoping things won't get that bad again but who knows. Next semester I have two more classes from the HCI/d track plus either Applied Cognitive and Emotional Psychology or Stats for Information Science and Usability. The professor who teaches the stats class told me this is the last time he is teaching it so that is probably my first choice reluctantly due to my love of math. The class is taught through the School of Library Science and not Mathematics and apparently this guy is a really good professor so hopefully it won't be that bad.

The only problem with the stats class is that there are four students in it right now including me so there is a good chance it won't form. This is why I signed up for the Applied Cognitive and Emotional Psychology class which is taught through Telecommunications. I know this is kind of odd for both classes but Cog Sci doesn't teach anything at the grad level that is not for just the cog sci people and stats at the grad level in the math department would not be a good thing for me.

I am heading home this weekend and will be gone for a bit. I am happy to be going home to see some friends and be back in the warm weather although it hasn't been that bad here for Indiana in the winter. :)
