Scientifically speaking, of course...

So today I became a scientist! Or, rather, a psychologist, which is a form of scientist! Really, it is! No joke!

No lab coat for me, but I've began my psychological investigation, which will last a flexible six weeks, and we're looking into the very timely issue of how people make financial decisions. I've filled out the ethics form already, and handled some of the annoying little details, all of which impressed my teammates loads, as I'm actually the best writer of the group.

Yes, they're lovely people, two guys, and they fully integrated me as a member of the team (no assistant or coffee-maker crap for me!), and, the best bit, they never ever patronise me. Despite my obvious idiocy and youth, they treat what I say and my suggestions as seriously as if the other one said it.

And it seems the focus of the project, well, the second focus, is to prepare me and get me to learn how to be a scientist, so they let me do loads and whenever they're doing something they explain what they're doing and why, so if I were to do another experiment in the future (which'll be soon enough, knowing me~) I'd be instantly familiar with everything and instinctively succeed.

So... Yay! I get £80 a week for doing this as well. Not a bad salary, if I do say so meself! Ta-ra!
