went to the gym.
tried to read things in hopes i could find relevant 'control' related ideas/literature
25 october thursday
spent a lot of the day trying to go through the feedback i received on the two drafts of articles that adrian and lauren had looked at. was very overwhelming in the case of lauren's and couldn't do much with adrian's since his suggestion would involve starting over with the analyses. got very disheartened about my work.
26 october friday
joined a few students for 'disabilitea' which was a national event to raise awareness for trying to change some australian laws. ate a bunch of scones.
tried to get more reading done, but really didn't get anywhere.

went to the grocery store to make nachos and then watched some movies.
27 october saturday

lots of brazilians (only joel and i did not speak portuguese)
ate delicious food.
swam a bit in the freezing cold water.
played a little tennis like raquet sport on the beach.
bea and i had to leave early to go home and get ready to then go to the bamnf film festival - which was one evening of a series of short films about various extreme sports. we went with lydia; it was really cool.
stayed again at bea and juliana's since we had sunday plans as well.
28 october sunday
lounged around in the morning until the shopping trip for the stuff to make the brazilian dinner - which took us to multiple grocery stores.
made a dessert and watched some IT crowd episodes with joel.
then helped cook and hung out with a good crowd of the students and again had a delicious brazilian meal.
it was lots of fun. a really great weekend.

29 october monday
did phd reading and whatnot.
went to the gym.
30 october tuesday
had my supervisory meeting in which we discussed things from the feedback about the drafts. decided how to go about the re-doing of the data for the one (CLOUD + FTP) and spoke about some of lauren's comments (ESM).
was a hard meeting and one that did not leave me inspired to keep working on them or any part of the phd.
very frustrating.
re-did a bunch of the analyses to start that process.
went to the gym.
31 october wednesday
halloween at the hub.
spent time in the afternoon playing with costumes and then augmenting my pirate costume (with a parrot). but i did finish going through the draft with the new analyses and new findings.
spoke with brittany.
and then celebrated halloween (see other post) which was really a lot of fun.
