question 3

finally got the darn thing to work! done calculating research questions 2 and 3. need to work on the writing, now... should take a few weeks! questions 4 and 5 won't be calculated for a while because i don't know how i should do it. i'll think about that when i'm done with 2 and 3. i'm also done filling out all the tables in my chapter 4 that relate to my question 2: number, mean, and standard deviation for native, nonnative, and not sure, for every variable i'm studying and for every likert-scale statement of the questionnaire: first language (12 different languages, you do the math), gender, school, level, grades, etc. now i have to look at those numbers and explain them. hopefully, question 3 shouldn't be too hard (matched t-test).

am hiring a lawyer for the first time in my life, it's a strange feeling...

got invited for a job interview at tesol in two weeks. school's in washington dc. in the meantime, getting ready for tesol itself is a nightmare, since i'm the chair of the nnest caucus: handouts, photocopies, banner, reference list, colloquia, presentations, social activities, business meeting, logo, volunteers, election of the new chair-elect and newsletter editor, booth organization, etc. etc. etc. PLUS the preparation of my FIVE presentations... ??????
