Wednesday- write, listen, edit
Started writing on my thesis. My blog have been shrinking from the beginning, and in the future it will probably be shrinking even more radical. One of the first problems considering my blog was that I posed it as a link for people wanting to participate in my project to find out more about the project itself. But when you have participants over time, and you want to experiment several different...
Tuesday- experiment
Because of few participants, and that I am starting to be short on time, I had to change the experiment. We were four people (including myself), which I divided into two groups which then had a recorded conversation in separate rooms. It was a ok conversation, but I was tired after a long day, and so was some of the participants, which made me realize that having a four hour experiment on a...
Monday- black day.
AAAAaaarrrrgh! Today is not a good day. It started off fine, I prepared myself for the experiment tomorrow. I had hoped for 10 participants- and I got 3. I used Facebook to get participants, and I started sending private messages to people that has a “maybe” or “awaiting” respond. Went for a walk with my boyfriend and discussed the situation at this point. I feel my energy...
Friday- listening
Used the day listening to parts of one conversation I have not been participating in, and two others I have been participating in. Trying to find parts I believe might be interesting to other people than myself. I want to send parts of conversations to participants who can listen to them at home, and see if a conversation is interesting in this form- or just becomes frustrating? Had to take it...

13.00 - 17.00: Blog, joined couchsurfing, (http://www.couchsurfing.org/), and joined a project done at the University in Oslo, which looks very similar to my arranging of conversations- but this might be a program selecting who meets who (https://nettskjema.uio.no/answer.html?fid=41800&lang=en)

Monday- arrange, arrange: mail mail facebook
Putting all my money on the next experiment for now; next Tuesday at my home I will do an experiment that is about testing to have a conversation in front of an audience. It will consist of two parts, and I am hoping for about 10 participants (I got three at this moment- which is a good start). First part will involve three participants having a conversation, while the rest of the participants...
Saturday- an experiment
I invited two friends to listen to parts of the conversation I had with Tomas Tengby, and talk about it. I was mostly curious if they would find the conversation, or listening to the conversation, interesting. To me the conversation we had was great in the sense that Tomas gave me a lot of input. I got new perspectives, and I liked the perspectives he formulated. But would that work for my...
Friday- not much to say
Listening to the conversation I had with Tomas Tengby again. On Saturday I will play parts of it up for two friends and then we will discuss it shortly. I believe I have to do this with more people- different people- trying to understand if there is any value in listening to other peoples conversations. Realizing that it maybe was a bad idea to tell all my participants in Oslo that I would stop...

Tuseday- talk talk talk
The hole day was used for talking about my project (and fellow students ones of course), and where I am heading next. I have felt the need for changing experiment for some time now, the first one has proven some things to me;
1. Strangers want to have conversations with strangers (several has expressed the relief of not dating- the positive surprise of “meeting someone I would never talk to...
Wednesday - conversation club
I went to “Conversation club”- a project by Richard Hylerstedt- a guy I got in contact with through a friend that meet him a a party. Conversation club is a group of people meeting in the evening, drinking tea and discussing. I meet Richard for a conversation (just the two of us) a couple of weeks back, and at that point he invited me to join the conversation club the 3rd of Mach. This...
