I've been brainstorming for awhile on a good experiment to test on myself as a psychology experiment. I thought about testing the effects of getting drunk on my body, the relation between the amount of time spent reading and the location where it's done, and plenty of variations of my sleep patterns. But today, I think I found something even more intriguing. I want to find the relation between person-to-person interaction and time spent speaking on the phone. Maybe there is no relation at all, but I've got to test it to find out. It's possible that if I talk to more "real" people during the day, I will find less to talk about on the phone and therefore spend less time on the phone. It's also possible that speaking to real people will get me excited to tell more people the day's events on the phone. I really have no idea, and I'm interested to find out if there's any correlation there. So, starting tomorrow, I will start to limit interaction I have with friends and classmates. I'll go for 3-day intervals (if I can) of minimal and then enhanced interaction. I'll record EVERYTHING, every person I speak to and every second spent on the phone. I'm kind of excited. I hope to learn something about my social behavior and maybe even behavior on a larger scale.
So...basically...don't be offended if you don't see me or I don't speak to you on February 7, 8, 9, 13, 14, 15, 19, 20, 21, 25, 26, 27!!!!
