So the highly anticipated writeshop finally arrived and the department was very honored to have Doc B as speaker. He was gracious enough to do the writeshop for free and personally, I would not pass a chance to learn something from this man.
*GEEK MODE ON*
It's been a really long time since I attended a serious lecture of Doc B so I forgot how engaging he was during discussion that the next thing I knew was..."Oh, sh!t! I didn't get to take notes!"
Among the JTRAPS, only R, P and I attended; P and I were getting into the whole journal publication thing most of the time, where quantitative sounded Greek to me (I'm a quali person) while P had the need to hold onto something concrete when qualitative was being discussed (he's a quanti person) while R was rather subtly restless since she's not into research at all.
The actual workshop for today was a minor nosebleed, but NOSEBLEED nonetheless. Simply put, the challenge was to consistently promote our research contribution while establishing a good write up flow with a target of 4,000 words maximum. No, it is not that easy.
I'd be lying if I say that I didn't enjoy this session. I enjoy this kind of stuff even if I am a bit slow in coming up with what I should write, compared with the others in the department. And if we have to actually write a manuscript, my Zen Stone Plus is ready for action with Gundam 00 and Macross Frontier mp3s as thinking music! Tomorrow's Day 2--let's see what's in store for the Green Psychologists.

no matter how hard i tried, i really couldn't get my inner geek mode to switch on. now, if we were talking about web designing or some techie thingy like that, that would be a whole other story.
Yeah, I get what you mean. But at least you looked like you were a reliable researcher, LOL!
