Coffee Meeting with James
Mood:  down
Now Playing: Aankhen khuli ho ya ho band (Mohabbatein)
Topic: Meetings

Just had an impromptu meeting with James. He came by to drop a paper for me, and I reminded him we were suppose to be having a coffee this week ... and then has asked me if I was free right now ... and I said yes ... but ... it was a disastrous meeting ... because I had no clue what to speak about ... so, pretty much we were sitting just mumbling stuff ... absolutely nothing constructive.

I have to do something to redeem myself ... but I don't know what!!! But I hate thinking about redeeming myself ... because I do that with Pun, and that does not get me anywhere ... so probably I should forget it and move on, and do the best I can with my work - because I will just get bogged down. I have to start timetabling my work again ... but I have a feeling I have a procrastination attitude again which I have to get rid off ... if I expect to make this year productive! Oh I making myself feel depressed and frustrated.

Anyway, the paper seems ok ... since it has linear programming in its title ... and it looks to be an experiment ... but its the formulation of LP problems ... so at least I would learn some methodology. James also said he uses the ISI Web of Knowledge ... I have to check that out in future ... it might prove to be more useful than checking each database individually - at least I think it search more than the average database. He says I should check conference proceedings since they are also more up-to-date. Supposingly, they have a link to conference proceedings so need to check that out. Also, said I should check out ERIC ... will have to do that.

I told James ... I might feel better if I get a research question ... and I believe that ... so have to think about that this week ... seriously!! Anyway, I'm going back to my statistics.
