...disappear for a week. I have been working all semester on the hardest paper in my life to ever write for my Quantitative Research Methods class, and now I have to finish it in a week. This is very doable, as all I have to do is write up the results from my experiment and the discussion of the results. So what makes this hard you may ask? Well, writing in numbers is so very difficult for me. Numbers in general are difficult for me. All semester we have been learning how to take our data and run statistical tests on them to discover if the research question we chose was true, false, or whatever. My question was "To what extent does self-disclosure influence friendships in children grades 3-5?". I have been surveying tons and tons of kids from Dave's school to get my data. Last week I met with my prof. and she helped me run all the data through the computer to get my results, and now I have to write them up like a statistician. Oh boy. Prayers are appreciated.
On the upside, this is my last assignment to finish for the semester. Once this paper is done I am home free till August! Last semester I was pretty confident in my grades and ended up getting both A's. This semester is a little different. I have had a good mix of A's and B's on my assignments as the semester has progressed, and much weight lies in my final papers, so who knows at this point. I will accept B's...no problem with that! However, when I did get two A's in my first semester I thought to myself "if I only take two classes a semester, there is no reason why I can't get A's all the way through!". That, of course, was before I submitted myself to the torture of quantitative research. Bleh Bleh Bleh.
Expect a post from me in a week jumping up and down with joy for a nice three month long break.

And I've enjoyed your more frequent posts! It's fun to know what's going on. :)
Hey there darling daughter...I'm so proud of you, and I'd love to read your paper! Have a great day.
Hugs and prayers from Mom.
Hey Grad school B's are like Undergrad A+'s!!! As long as you get something out of the class, it's just letters.. I know from experience. Either way, you're doing so good juggling your roles as a wife, student, employee, daughter, sister and friend!!! Good luck!
