Shift in Direction Again.

http://www.iep.utm.edu/color/

Mr. Hamilton suggested I look into this guy.
He also suggested somehow doing an experiment without people being aware of me doing one.
I had a lot more to say here, but I have a lot more to do elsewhere. I'm swamped at the moment.

What I'm up to::
- Fixing up Literary review
- Thinking about website
- Taking more notes
- Looking into this guy ( Eric Rubenstein )
- Thinking about action plan
- Waiting for reply from Children's Museum
- Trying not to lose my mind
- Trying not to fail
