1st week of classes craziness

Good lord, it has been a busy week. I spent most of it feeling frantic, but everything is getting done so it is all good.

Very short meeting this week so we just dealt with the major issues.

1. TA stuff - signed and off to Robin

2. I don't seem to be listed as a student for some reason
- spoke to Robin about this and she thinks she may have got it sorted out. Robin is a star.

3. Value Learning
- Mark hasn't had a chance to look at the program yet. Hopefully on Monday.
- ethics change form needed

4. NSERC
- in progress, had a good discussion of what to write.


This week, I have written up an ethics change form, did a lot of work on the SD review and did more with my NSERC app. The SD review is now in Ben's court, which is a huge relief as I feel I've been doing all of it. He will add what he can before next Friday and then I will look it over one more time. I have also spoken to Karly about helping out with references, so will get that started too.

To do this week:

- NSERC research proposal fully written by Monday
- other bits of NSERC to be worked on during the week (CV, personal statement thing etc)
- TA conference all day Sat plus volunteering
- Sort out EndNote
- Speak to Karly about getting the references sorted
- find out about Helena's stuff about in utero cocaine exposure
- do all versions of VL exp't if approved
- write SD review abstract


To discuss with Mark on Monday:
- Go over ethics change form and submit
- Go over exp't and make sure ready to go
- Decide on exact procedure re: paying ppts
- NSERC: will have research proposal ready, so go over that
- ask re:NSERC letter of reference
