So somehow, I was roped into doing a workshop presentation this semester, despite my not having any real research yet.  Luckily, it wouldn't be until December, but it is still somewhat...daunting.  I mean, it at least gives me a deadline; I have to have something credible by then.  But still.  It is a lot of pressure and everything.

Bah.  So much pressure.

I have until next week to finish my judicial election stuff again.

What was cool was that one of the third years approached me about possibly co-authoring something for Game Theory, since we are both interested in courts and he said that I would really be able to help him with the advanced mathematics that goes into a model and everything.  This is awesome, especially since Game Theory today was somewhat...unsettling.  It just seemed like we are about to go on a journey we are ill-prepared for...kind of like the start of any Oregon Trail game, really.  So having a potential co-author already lined up is a little more hopeful.

I started writing down possible research ideas.  Aside from two, none of them are very good, really.


Something that was mentioned caught me off-guard, and now I am somewhat confused.  Actually, scratch somewhat.


This was going to be longer?  But I'm drawing blanks.
