I must admit that I haven't been doing as much work as I could since I got back from my school break. And I blame it on the weather. Damn you nice weather.
I have been doing some work, but has been minimal and primarily for my Leadership class. I really need to get back to work on my project, not because I should, but because I have to. If I don't have my methodolody down pat before I go, I am in big trouble. Although I am way ahead of all my schoolmates, because of my hardwork back in Feb. and March, I really need to start taking pointers from her. Thanks for the inspiration.
My research proposal (when it is finish) should include:
- Introduction: Here I need to discuss the practical relevant and academic relevance of the issue.
- Literature Review: Summarize research pertaining to my issue.
- Methodolody: Outline my data collection tools and explain why I choose it, and the strengths and weaknesses of it.
- Results: Delineate my results.
- Discussion & Conclusions: Summarize findings and make future research recommendations.
- Appendices: Interview questions and transcribed interview notes.
I currently have my literature review complete (minus a few alterations), and have started on my methodolody (which I am working on today) and my interview questions. I have 4 weeks to go. Initially I was worried, but I am not so much anymore. However, that may change as I proceed. The intro, methodology, and interview questions will take some time, however these sections are derived from my current understanding of the literature. The literature review was the most difficult, because I was summarizing other people's thoughts into a cohesive section. The rest of the paper is pretty much my interpretation, and how I plan on studying the phenomenon. I am interested in what I am doing, I just haven't been in the mood lately, I guess.
Anywho, I have already wasted enough time on this post, and now, it is time to get going to the airport. Jeff arrives home shortly.

Be careful with that Mantra. It can cause serious increases in productivity and serious decreases in computer gaming time.
Also, like you I take comfort when I know I've done more than my classmates at times. In my case, I'm usually ahead of a few and behind a few, but it's always nice to remind myself that I'm ahead of a few.
