As much as I love my interviewees, their scheduling skills are a little sketchy. I have had to reschedule my formal interviews for early March, so I don't have anything recorded just yet. However, while I am behind schedule in that, I am increasingly determined to get them accomplished in the next few weeks. In the meantime, I am working on doing somewhat of a self-interview to turn in with the rest of my materials tomorrow. I think we've talked a little about reflexivity in class - as Pink says - "ethnography is a process of creating and representing ethnographers' own experiences" (Pink, Ch. 1, p. 2).

As a skater myself, it's hard to make my account of roller derby an objective one so I want to further explore my own personal feelings about this sport as well. I think that will help me with my other interviews - I will hopefully be more aware of my own personal viewpoints and opinions - hopefully this will prevent me from trying to steer the questions in a particular fashion, etc.
