An Over-whelming Day

Oops I almost forgot to blog today....

Anyways the day started off with bob bringing in donuts again!! Which were delicious of course. Then Jane, Aj, and I went to the lab and awaited for others to arrive. The first people we saw were Andy and Jeff. Apparently I didn't get the memo about today because both Jon's weren't here today and Aj left early...Anyways since the Jon's were missing it made the morning lab meeting seem kinda small compared to last time.

In the meeting we talked about business and all the tasks we need to get done. We also learned the priority of those things as well. Number one is to help Leanne with her project then help Jon then help Nick then help Tristan with his and so on. Number two is to work on the project we were given of checking transcriptions and coding. Number 2a is to do more projects that Jeff assigned today and number 3 is to work on our own experiment or ideas for our presentations at the end of the summer. However if Andy or Jeff need help they take the alpha prime position and we drop what were doing to help them. Haha it's a really confusing and complicated list and as you can see it's a little over-whelming. (Sorry if that whole list didn't make sense)

After that lovely meeting we went to lunch at crossroads. Nothing really exciting happened there.

After lunch I did more of the checking the transcriptions. By the way that is basically when in the experiment the participant was asked to describe photos and there is a file that has everything the participant said. My job is to listen to the audio on the video and make sure that what was typed in the file is correct and if not then change it. Once I change it I need to upload it to the Twiki (online website where they keep their files) so that others can access it. I got through about 3 videos before I became bored with that.

At about that time a new huge t.v arrived for an upcoming experiment. We helped unpack it and I looked over the manual for Jeff to see some of the directions. Jeff, Andy and Nick then moved it out into the hall because that's where they want to put it and fiddled around with it. Jane and I looked on for a bit and watched some Wall-e trailer previews but then went back in the lab and I started on checking another participant. I have to finish that video Monday but so far the person is speaking really clearly, I can understand most of it, and I've hardly had to make any changes on the original copy so that's really good!!
