So I am finally done collecting all my data (yay!) as of last night. Man, was it stormy last night or what. Winds were up to 60 mph, and my drive back home from class was terrible. I was SURE someone was going to hit me or some accident on the road of some sort. The roads were slick and visibility was extremely poor, so pretty much everyone was going 45 mph on 50. There were a couple stupid drivers on I-5 speeding and cutting into lanes really fast. I'm not really ready to hit the brakes really hard, especially if I'm hydroplaning, thank you.
I don't have a mailbox at the social work office anymore (every graduate student has one) and at the beginning of the semester I inquired about that. An office lady with an attitude nearly tore my head off saying that I don't need one and I'm not going to get one since all I'm doing is my thesis and that's it. Sheesh. I just asked one simple (and non-intrusive) question and she acts like I've totally attacked her. When someone gets in my face like that, I either respond in a very sarcastic way, or I get right into their face just the same. With her, I got into her face and loudly explained that I was just asking a simple question because I noticed my mailbox gone, so don't have a cow about it. But even now, I'm STILL wondering how come I can't have a mailbox. I just saw important thesis deadlines for this semester... sent out in the BEGINNING of September... and of course, I didn't get this annoucement because I don't have a mailbox!! GRRR. Well, God's always gracious because its a good thing I found this annoucement now, because now I know I better step up my productivity like 300% because I need my entire project to be formatted, signed by my prof, and submitted to the department for approval by (drumroll please)..... DECEMBER 2ND. Ugh!! Doesn't give me much time... I don't know how realistic this is, but I'm going to try to pump out the rest of the remaining chapters this week (Chapter 4 and 5) if not more. If only I knew how to work SPSS correctly...(which is what I'll be doing this weekend)
This morning I woke up around 11am. It felt good to sleep in. This whole week has been stressful, trying to write my literature review. I turned it in yesterday, and I'm crossing my fingers hoping that my prof will like it and I don't have to redo it. Yesterday I got back my Methodology chapter back, with major revisions needed. Basically, my prof told me to totally change the focus of my study. ARGH. To have to make major revisions in my methodology is NOT good. So we'll see what I come up with this week. Pray that my usual procrastinator self will not show up this week (or the rest of the month, for that matter)....
On a lighter note (totally unrelated to my thesis project), I had a weird dream last night. I dreamed that I was plucking my eyebrows so much that one day I took a good look in the mirror and saw that I had no more eyebrows!! =O It's weird that my subconscious should be worried about that, because it's Wayne who has that fear, not me. He cringes every time I clean up my brows (which is not that often)... thinking that one day when we're older, I'm going to turn out like those Chinese aunties that have no eyebrows but have to draw them in. So when I occasionally clean up my brows, I try not to do it in front of him, lest he freak out on me. =)
