done

with entering the 804 questionnaires, that is. funny how i was able to enter so many of them without any problem and then, the last 20 were just a pain, i hated every single one of them, especially if they hadn't responded to every question or if they had a native english-speaking teacher... which they practically all did... i prayed so the LAST one would be entirely filled and from someone who had a nonnative teacher, and it worked. but oh boy, what a pain!

the interesting (and very sad) thing is that students of nonnative teachers did NOT fill out the questionnaires as often as the others did. i mean, in one school, let's say, i could see that there was a teacher from germany and one from russia, and then 3 native english speakers, and i would get 60 questionnaires from students of those native speakers and maybe 8 from students of the nonnative speaker. i wonder why, but that's certainly an important thing i'll have to discuss.

now, we can start the analysis... haha... today i don't really want to think about it though... i have 30 long papers to grade for tomorrow and 4 job files i need to send today. i want a vacation! AND I WANT TO KNOW IF I GO THIS GRANT!

PS. i just got the news that i'll be teaching 002 in the spring too. this is WONDERFUL news!!! ohhh... i'm sooooo happy!!!! it means i'll have the possibility of being able to manage the research/teaching/writing and maybe even to graduate in the summer.
