Back to the grind

A week in paradise concluded with 28 hours in transit back to Bogota, and real life has begun again with a vengeance. Internet was down today, so that meant that I could get back to transcribing interviews and putting the finishing touches on our first database, made up of 17 people nice enough to fill out our questionnaire as they prepared to head to Spain to sell high fashion to the rich.

If we could meet maybe 200 more emigrants from different backgrounds, and if we were actually studying the program they'll be working under, we'd have some useful data for some killer regression analysis and tables n shit for the thesis. As it is, it was helpful to try out our first questionnaire ever on interesting but useless (that is, for our research project) people.

As I wait for another group of Guinea pigs to fall into our laps, I think I'll get some sleep. I promise that a vacation update and photos will be up soon. But not before Wednesday.
