Three week mark

Well, three weeks from now, I'll be in France doing my research project. This is a daunting amount of time for the following reasons:

1) I'm just now sending out letters to meet with people. I'm an idiot. I'm starting to freak out.
2) I've learned that I probably have to get IRB certified (if I want to record my interviews, which I do). This leaves me little time.
3) I still have muchas things to do. (French: Presentation, 6-page paper; Linguistics: Lesson Plan, Lesson Demonstration, Observation Report, Journal, 8-10 page final paper, Professional portfolio; French Tutorial: Presentation; Spanish: Essay, Oral, Written Final; History: Books to read, 2 response papers to write, Unknown Final)
4) I just now sent out letters to people.
5) I'm nervous about seeing certain people.
6) Mostly, the daunting amount of work between now and then.

At least the University is going to pay for my gas etc. That's a new development. And if I end up recording, they'll buy me a digital voice recorder (that'll technically be property of the HTC, but still... awesome).

Still, I'm super nervous. Though, interestingly enough, for none of the same reasons as last year.
