I was a MA/MST student at Stanford's Center for Computer Research in Music and Accoustics.

I didn't really get much done today. It was a little bit frustrating. But the lectures today were interesting. It can be difficult to maintain concentration through an entire lecture. I try to take a large amount of notes with my laptop, which helps. Writing reinforces what I'm hearing. I also try not to go too long without food and water. But even so, sometimes I get distracted, too focused on note-taking, or start to do some homework. I'm reminded of the concept of ăȘăăæ - people who are always doing something else when they work/study (watching TV, for example). A laptop in the lecture hall can increase engagement but it can also be a distraction. In other news, I signed up for the shop safety course after hearing about it from John, one of the Doctoral candidates. I often find myself wishing I had access to a table saw, so hopefully this will take care of that need. Having shop access will help with 250 projects as well.
