04 november - sunday
did some work at the hub; tried to find econ variables; got very frustrated and not very far.
05 november - monday
graded a paper, went to the gym, did some work. not exciting.
06 november - tuesday
turned in my cloud+ftp paper, had a meeting, went to the gym
07 november - wednesday
turned in my esm paper, did work, went to the gym
08 november - thursday
did work, did some ra work, talked with Ashley about making sangria for thanksgiving and then we went to Subiaco in search of sangria. basically got a glass of orange juice as 'sangria' for 8 dollars. good thing that was the happy hour half price because 16 dollars for orange juice would have demanded some reaction. walked around in search of somewhere else to go and ended up having some burritos and wine. was an enjoyable evening and now i've been to subi.
09 november - friday
went to the mark liveris conference on campus in the am. heard kenny and sarah present their research. got some free lunch. tried to do work in the afternoon but didn't really get anywhere.
10 november - saturday
went to the gym. went to the grocery store and walked home. watched tv.
11 november - sunday
went to fremantle with juliana. took the train, had a nice time walking around freo. the arts centre didn't have any art which was a bummer, but the market was fun and then we walked along the jetty and saw the oldest public structure in wa (a roundhouse - prison). had a delicious sausage and donut like thing filled with chocolate from the market for lunch. took the train back and got off in town to search for australia souvenirs - not a lot of luck but was a nice day.

12 november - monday
had an RA meeting, did some work. got really overwhelmed with the amount of research literature i had downloaded and had not read so i skipped the gym and spent the entire evening going through what i had downloaded to reshuffle the files to figure out what i should read.
13 november - tuesday

15 november - thursday
actually had a good meeting in the morning, worked at the hub on my candidacy document.
went to the opening of the mexican film festival. film was okay. it was in english more than spanish, but i did enjoy the dual language and mariachi music. food was not as advertised and not that great. but it was still a nice social evening out with some of the hub folks.

17 november - saturday
made cheesecake, did laundry, and vacuumed in the morning.
went to joel's for a bbq which entailed me taking the bus to juliana's, riding the train with juliana out to where vinny lives, and then going with vinny and fernanda by car to joel's. that's a lot of transport. luckily ashley was traveling south and able to drop me off after.
we ate a lot of delicious food and met max, joel's dog, and hung out. and a lot of hub people showed so that was awesome.

18 november - sunday
skated 5ish miles around the neighborhood.
went to manna to cook food for the homeless. possibly did more cleaning than cooking this time around. but still good. had pizza afterward.
20 november - monday
worked on my candidacy document again. went to the gym.
21 november - tuesday
had a meeting. didn't go quite as planned (had hoped to finalize the candidacy document at least to turn in) and have a bunch more work to do with the thing.
went to caversham wildlife park with ashley, beth (friend from TX), juliana, and joel. so awesome. hung out with kangaroos, got to pet a wombat and koala. saw lots of animals i don't know anything about. also we bbqed before hand in the park that surrounds the zoo like park. it was a great afternoon. not productive for the phd in the sense of writing, but probably healthy for my mind. i'd like to spend more time with those animals.
