This past Friday was full of lots of ups and downs. To begin with, we ran out data collection for Social Psychology. For our experiment, we conducted 48 interviews. All of our participants were recruited from the Reynolds Club, the closest thing to a Student Union, here on campus.
This is my group: Andrea, Shewta, Eric.
This is one of the essays that we had people read. The crucial thing in all of this is the picture. Some had Jordan (this rather punky picture), others had Irene (more conservative) and some had no picture.
Here I am with my researcher face on.
48 surveys… Rock On! Of course now its time for data entry… bleh
On the downside, I had my car vandalized. Some jerk bashed in my driver’s window. Strangely nothing was stolen. Even more strangely I would have felt better if something was. Having an item stolen would have provided me with a sense that there was a purpose to the attack on my poor Subaru. Thankfully I was able to get the window fixed on Saturday. Here’s a shot of the car-nage
Yuck. Always leave it to some idiot to put forth effort to smashing a window just to discover nothing they want to steal. But I suppose you’re not the type to just leave the car unlocked to eliminate the need to break the window. Or if you leave it unlocked, will the vandalizer ruin something inside simply because it was unlocked? I don’t know… that’s a question for your area of study. :-)
Sorry Matt, that car window incident sucks. I have seen the inside of your car and I am amazed the vandalizer didn’t find something to take! Maybe it was just an accident? Yeah… picture a life/death struggle over the last pringle in the can… oooh ahhh ugghhh… one pringle lover slams the other onto a car hood… ughh… the other pushes them into your car… hits the window… crash! Yep.
Ironically, there were actually a number of things of value within the car that the would be burgler should have seen. So that only leads to more questions about why the smash but no grab. Still I guess I shouldn’t complain about it.
Nice theory Jenny… I’m trying to think along those lines.
Maybe it was someone studying the breakage patterns for driver side windows and you were unlucky enough to become part of the test. Either way, sorry to hear about that! No fun!

sorry to hear about the window issue man (which was long ago by now), but if i were you, my worry would be if that was some hate-act, unless you had your car parked close to some place where rowdy guys might be playing ball or something. Take care Matt … sounds like a horrible smash to me.
