MONSTER

ok, i have exactly 36 statements about teachers in general and 34 statements about one teacher in particular! that's 70 statements the students will have to agree or disagree with. now, the question is, do i dare ask 40 students of a pilot study to respond to SEVENTY statements??? i mean if i had to do this i'd go crazy loca nuts! maybe i could divide this into 2 groups of students, but i'd have to have 2 groups of 40. for a pilot, that's a lot!

i'm frustrated because it's the weekend PLUS the end of the semester, so everyone's overwhelmed with work, i can't talk to anyone until monday, i'm stuck at home, and things are not moving along! oh well, i'll work on this book review of mine (i'm reading the book right now, kinda long...) and the ET article. i went to the writing lab today and got some good feedback from gigi about one idea i should mention in the paper and try to make it fit in the 1800 word limit... oh, and i need to grate my students' final papers too. so there, that'll be my fun weekend :)

thanks a LOT to the person who got me the dissertation book :) :) :) i don't know who it is yet, but i'm very excited to get it and hopefully i'll see who sent it!!! that was very kind!!!

it's raining, i'm happy!! oh, and i now have 30 potential participating schools! took me HOURS to find them, goodness, i had no idea the ESL programs in this country were so different from one another!
