I actually did work yesterday! Well, I’ve been doing bits of work here and there. So far, in a month and a half, I have accomplished the following:
1. Established my contacts who are supposed to help with my data collection.
2. Translated my survey into Bangla (which took forever, even though it shouldn’t have!).
3. Planned my first field trip finally.
4. Written outlines for 2 thesis chapters.
5. Arranged my Canadian visa.
So what if the last one isn’t a direct work thingie? It’s still something that’ll enable me to go back to my institution!! And I needed a 5th item. Filled out the application for the American visa which I want to get before I leave. There might not be enough time, though, but I’m going to give it a shot anyway.
Trying to make a plan with my friend K (whose engagement I went to in NYC earlier this year). Malaysia’s become a super popular tourist destination and it’s apparently relatively cheap to go and stay there for a few days. I’ve never been to Malaysia, and its tourism industry’s been advertising intensively. I guess the advertising’s working…lots of people have been visiting and Malaysia’s gorgeous…white sand beaches, crystal blue waters, rainforests, the works. It would be totally awesome if we can make it!
More visa stuff needed, though.
