Memo 1 Apparently since you have already read about my self confidence I don’t think I am able to comment other peoples work especially Ross’s. Ok, what I have to say is that personally I would like you to have specific research questions in the column social theoretical questions. So I can have a better understanding of what you are doing. Another comment comes from the second column. Wouldn’t it be better if you had specified a little bit where you are going to get the data? Although I have to say that you mention the lack of field sites at your prepared column. As for the rest I have to admit that as always you have a theoretical framework, you have studded it, and I think you know exactly what you want to do in your research. As always ahead…

Memo 2 True fact you are ahead of all of us. Always. I don’t know if that is a talent, a habit, or a neurosis. This makes you the ideal student, in my opinion at least. I won’t comment the ahead of schedule anymore because you know I dislike it, nor your e-mails which I delete before reading them most of the time. I would advice you to try just for once to do something at the last minute or under pressure. It will give you some experience needed during field work where there is big chance that things won’t be planed or go on schedule. A last comment: I was wondering if you are going to study or work with groups, how are you going to manage the fact that you dislike them. Is the researcher supposed to have control of the groups he/she studies/works with? Just asking.
