Hey Domo,
I'm multi-tasking. Working on an assignment for school, watching Law & Order, and, apparently, typing a response to you :lol:. I had to work today, but it was a shorter day than I thought it'd be, so that made me happy. I went bowling tonight and bowled my best games ever. I was pretty happy.
Thats' what I'm up to. Not very exciting, and I can't decide if I'm bored or not

.So you went to work, studied, watched some TV and went bowling and that was not exciting?!
Sounds more interesting then my day. I woke up, watched some cartoons and surfed the net. Then i had a nap followed by a sandwich and now i am back in bed :lol:
Oh i did go outside for 5 minutes to have a smoke.
What is your assignment?

What is your assignment?
I had a Nutella sandwich earlier, and now I'm thinking of having another one. I'm a bit hungry.
My assignment is to identify an area of interest about university students, formulate a research question, and then create a mail-out survey as well as a face-to-face interview to try to answer my research question. Then complete a report on the dependent and independent variables, sample, and how I will measure each of the variables.
My research question is around which variables influence how a university student chooses their post-secondary institution - ie. cost, being close to family and friends, campus services, etc.

You could probably do it. This is actually for a third year research class, not a psychology class, but of course they are still connected. If I read what I just wrote six weeks ago, I'd have been scared off myself!! I'd love to just quit my job and go to school. It gives me a challenge that my job doesn't. I was a bit worried about signing up for a third year class, having never been to university before, but since there was no pre-requisite I figured it was safe :lol:. The prof is awesome, and that makes a huge difference.
I have no idea what I plan on doing when and if I ever get an actual degree. For now I'm taking classes to give my life some structure, challenge me, learn something new. If I get a degree I'll probably go on then and do a Masters.
I think I'm convinced that I need a Nutella sandwich now.

Do you find it tough studying and working at the same time? I haven't studied since high school which was 8 years ago now (holy shit i am getting old!) and i don't know if i could handle it.
I'm glad you are enjoying though. Must be a nice feeling.
Aww now i want nutella. Do you have Milo in Canada?

I'm only taking two courses so it's not too tough balancing work and school. Plus, I have staff at work so they cover for me alot which gives me the freedom to do it.
I've been out of school for 18 years. I wasn't sure if I could do it either, which is why I started with only two classes. There's lots of help available - you just have to know where to go to get it and take the initiative because no one will chase you down. I meet with my research prof regularly to make sure my assignments are on the right track before I hand them in. Actually, I have to meet with her Tuesday because I've put something in this survey and I don't know if it's ethical or not. Even though we aren't actually sending out the surveys, it still needs to be ethical.
I have no idea what Milo is, so I'm going to say no.

My ethical question is, if I was actually sending this survey out, my sample would include grade 12 students who have already applied to university and first year university students. If it's ethical, I would want to code the surveys so I know which schools they went to when they come back. It would, theoretically, help me determine a number of things. But, since in my instructions to the respondent, I've put that it is completely anonymous and cannot be traced back to them, I don't know if it would be ethical or not. It would still be anonymous, and I wouldnt' know who they are, I'd only know which university or high school they go to, which will help my measurements immensely. I also think I'm over-thinking this assignment. But, I'll find out on Tuesday.
It's really important to me to do well in these classes. Such a change from high school. Maybe it's because this is actually costing me alot of money :lol:. Or maybe because I feel like I have something to prove...
My puppies are passed out. We went herding Friday night and they've been exhausted since.
I'm taking a break from that paper. I'm working on my third and final psychology paper. When it's done this class should be smooth sailing, but the papers have been a pain. Almost done...

They were herding sheep. Its alot of fun.
My paper I'm trying to write now is on sexual orientation. We had to pick three differnt topics, all from the textbook, and then research at least three peer-reviewed articles for each topic. Our paper is a max of five pages, and we need to summarize the research and then discuss it. The first two papers I did were on survivors of suicide and self-injurious thoughts and behaviours. Neither of those topics are in the textbook, but I'm a bit of a rebel that way.
I'm going to go finish watching Law & Order and then head to bed. I have a long couple days ahead of me before I head for a quick mini-vacation on Wednesday.
Have a good night (or is it day there now?).
