cv

have decided not to send job application files anymore, except if the deadline is close, but i prepare them, send letters of recommendation if needed... and wait for my cv to fill out... or not... i should get some answers soon, hopefully!

changed about 400 dates from 2/3/87 to 2/3/1987, erased those without years, printed and started working on coding students' open-ended responses, decided how we wanted to calculate the number of different comments by language groups (like how many koreans/japanese/chinese/etc. made comments about pronunciation/patience/grammar/etc.), entered some chinese translations, started verifying the arabic dates, and... i don't remember what, but i've worked hard today! we had such a laugh with veronica when we started coding those students' comments and creating the categories and codes... and we had to agree on them and then know how/when to apply them... we worked on about 50 comments together and now we're on our own for the other 700+ remaining comments... we'll see how that works (i'll take that on the plane with me, that'll keep me busy for a few hours)!

got an email from another school director who said she'd sent me some questionnaires! that's FIFTEEN schools out of 21!!!! i'm the best :) i've also calculated the approximate response rate with the general number of students per school and the number of returned questionnaires. take a wild guess... ... ... 68%! mouahahaha! (in statistics, 40% is considered very good... that's what i was praying for...)... I'M THE BEST!


oh, and i got the best massage in the world! aaahhhhh... feels good!!
