labor day weekend

The pressure from all the upcoming deadlines is really rearing its head now. I personally find it best to just set my mind to focus on one thing at a time; for example, during college, I could just set out an order in which to do all the problem sets I had and just focus solely on each one until they were done. However, I think that strategy does not bode well in a situation where I have to do my normal Fed work, NSF, GRE, etc. It’s not the worst; it’s just that I have to get really good at shifting modalities, but I’ve been slowly getting better at it.

I did promise a follow-up post to last week’s discussion of modeling politician decision-making, and that is still being worked on, but I have a few other things I need to focus on, so that will have to be postponed for a later week. I did want to say, though, that there are quite a few addenda that need to be added to make sure I’m being satisfactorily accurate and descriptive.

In other news, this long weekend is quite well needed. I’ve been told that I usually say that even if I don’t do much each weekend, I actually do get around, and I’ll finally be going to a play (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child). This week I also finally managed to go to Birdbox, and it is indeed quite good. It does not, however, take the spot as my favorite fried chicken sandwich. It is definitely number two, but the flavors in a Rowdy Rooster sandwich just hit differently (it’s probably the Indian in me).

Short post this week since I’m grinding NSF and GRE prep. Until next week!
