Psychological Experiment Shad Valley Dalhousie: Subject Log, Day 11

7:30.000 – Wakeup, the barrage of knowledge and learning is taking its toll, sleep deprivation evident as mind fixated on month project theme while showering begins: fibres, fibres, fibres…

8:45.000 – House group Vagapelago (derived from Vagabond and Archipelago, ergo hobos on an island) gathers final details for project pitch to group, 100% biodegradable pen idea on verge of reality

12:30.000 – Dared to down a slice of pizza in one bite, beginning to feel dreaded “Shad 5.000” coming on

13:30.000 – Walked from residence to Rowe Building for seminar on math and probabilities, have yet to see sunshine in Halifax for more than a total of fifteen minutes, weather predicted to be good for camping trip Friday, Vitamin D deficiency will soon be quenched…we hope

16:30.000 – Head swirling from overload of permutation, combination concepts, feeling sleepy and hungry, a good day’s work

17:15.000 – Practice for piano, singing duet for coffee house successful, probability of “rocking the house” significantly raised

22:30.000 – Beginning to suspect cool roommate is part of experiment to observe behavior of Shads in response to wild antics, sleep deprivation and hunger creeping in again, thought processes failing…having the time of my life!
