the way we're going to be:
BUSY! i went to chicago and got 40 questionnaires. also got 267 new questionnaires in the mail today, from 3 different schools. not sure exactly how i'm going to enter all this. it's crazy, i have more than 500 now. it takes SO LONG to enter those things! plus now i'm going to have to order the questionnaire by language (they're by school now) and ask speakers of the languages i don't speak to translate the questions i didn't understand... chinese, arabic, korean, japanese, turkish, thai, and taiwanese, and some portuguese/german/italian.
starting to think SERIOUSLY that i won't make it by next year, because even when i've gotten say 800 questionnaires and entered them all, i'll have to do it all over in november/december/january... PLUS the matching, which is going to take ages... so i won't have any definitive results until february or march or something. which makes it hard to write it all up and graduate by august.
for the final questionnaire, i need to add: tell about the second section (personal info) and explain (matching) so the students actually fill it out + send the questionnaires in the same order you did before (eg by class, by teacher, etc.). + NO NEW STUDENT! only those who did it the first time!
i have such a headache... i can't believe that i still have to grade my students' papers + homework, help 2 people with some stuff they've asked me, prepare my lessons for tomorrow, get the letter + cv ready for tomorrow's workshop, and i'm sure i'm forgetting something. oh yeah, i also need to eat, haven't eaten anything today except a small bag of chips.
fingers crossed for mcgill...

Some say you should have 3 chapters through your committee by the time you have your first interview. You might want to talk to Margie to get her opinion of how far along one should be before looking for a job.
it's margie who's pushing me to graduate. i don't think i can make it... she keeps telling me but of course you can! i wrote 2,5 chapters already. the problem is not the writing, it's the amount of data. 7 schools and already 500 questionnaires returned... out of the 22 i sent the questionnaires to! it's MASSIVE!
