Hello, I am working on my master's dissertation, and I need help with identifying a quantitative tool that measures a person's political orientation/ attitudes. Would be great if y'all can help me with finding a tool and getting access to it. So far, my search has gotten me to dead ends and tools that cannot be applied to the Indian context.

Routines routines routines: the only reason I passed some of my classes last year was because I had routines in place for doing my work (they are falling apart this year, and I'm struggling.)

My sessionals are starting next week. Even though these are minor tests, I've been struggling. A few days ago, I was happy, satisfied and content with the progress I have made as a person but then I don't know what triggered me. from the past three days, I've been struggling to sleep, having generalised anxiety and a heavy feeling in my chest. I'm constantly on the verge of tears. The fact that I have exams from next week is stressing me out even more. I've been trying to hold myself together though. I'm slowly trying to cover as many topics I can in a day. Also waiting for this phase to be over, it usually goes on for a week. I haven't attended college for the last three days. it's been difficult but I'm handling it I think. I hope it gets better soon.

I am back! The summer was extremely boring. Although there was one interesting thing that happened. I went to the Himalayas to collect some preliminary data for my dissertation. I am not even sure if I am going to do this eventually but since it's my own culture, I felt really called to investigate the spiritual possession practices in Uttarakhand Himalayas. For that I went back home to observe the practices in real time and I was extremely grateful to have had the opportunity of seeing it happen after 6 years. I wrote two blogs that describe my observations there and they're posted on my wordpress account. The new semester started in August. It was going slow but we have our first sessional exams from 18th September so I've to start studying for them. I have also gotten back to reading and I finished normal people yesterday. Can't wait to update you guys about my study progress and the insights I get from reading.
