This week I'm busy setting up all my research for the fall. I have been submitting quite a few IRBs (which is a little overwhelming when I think that soon I'll actually have to implement all of those studies), overseeing my advisor's honor student, recruiting an army of research assistants for the studies I am running this fall, continuing to run the newlywed study, and looking into applying for funding in the fall.
Some exciting news: I'm connecting with one of the new grad students from Taiwan and we're in the beginning stages of writing up a possible study to run in Taiwan. If that pans out, there's a possibility I could apply for NSF travel funding to go to Taiwan next summer to conduct research there. Also, I'm looking into attending a conference in Israel next summer. I'm debating whether to take out another student loan to do this, because if I do go, I plan on staying for at least a week to tour the Holy Land.
In yoga, I'm trying to negotiate classes for the fall. Right now, my UT classes are staying the same, but my Saturday morning YY class is changing to "Vinyasa" rather than "Hatha Flow," and my afternoon class at YY is switching from Flow to an Ashtanga class of some sort. Still a lot of red tape to get through, but things are quickly falling into place...
