This weekend, I'll be busy transcribing interviews and a conversation I secretly recorded for my HG210 project.
It's kinda fun to transcribe in the beginning. I felt professional, like I am some sort of Linguistics research assistant.
But as I sit in front of my laptop, stationary, mind you, for like a few hours, with the ear plugs burning in my ears while I try to figure what the people are saying; and when I have to keep repeating certain conversations for a few times just so to catch subtle phrases, transcribing becomes tedious.
I am going to be VERY busy.

Here are long overdue family photos taken at the beginning of the year. They look too wonderfully good to be hidden in my laptop!
OH I have a penchant for all things sweet like cakes, cupcakes and ice cream recently. It's crazy.
