Enjoying Sunday evening - for once

9/29 - What I nice feeling it is to have Monday's work done before Sunday evening.  I was had to call helpdesk at Stockton to ask why I was having problems opening articles.  They couldn't help me so they transferred me to someone in the Stockton Library.  What a breath of fresh air it was for someone to take the time and actually help me!  She explained that if you search through Summon, many of the articles are not available through Stockton.  She walked me through which Database to tap into (Ed Research Complete) and how to pinpoint what exactly I was looking for.  YEH!!!!!

Then it took a about an hour to review, print, and email the APA version to myself.  I then spent another hour reading and highlighting pertinent data to sight in my paper.  I then spent about 2 hours Friday night fixing and adding sources to my topic paper and needs assessment plan.  All I had to do Sunday was re-read, send and add another post to my research blog. 

I am taking the night off to watch the first episode of Amazing Race and get a good night sleep.  The wedding the past weekend in Cape May was great but need to get ready for school tomorrow so will pick this up tomorrow after school.

I will use the time we should have been in class to work on my evaluation of one of the research papers.

Total time spent this week had to be at least 5 hours

Moving right along, or so I thought!

9/24 - Took some time to review online examples of how they set up Needs Analysis section.  Then mirrored those and wrote mine.  Was a bit upset today at work as I wanted to get a head start on finding and printing peer review articles.  I went on the Stockton sight and put in some key words and found quite a few interesting articles.  After reading their summaries, I went to open the file and was unable.  I thought it was just the school security so saved and sent these papers to my gmail account to open once I was home and had no more luck there!  Will go to school tomorrow and pick the brain of Alyssa and Lindsey to see if they are having the same problems. 

THIS IS EXTREMELY AGGRAVATING.  I am trying to complete this weeks assignments prior to the weekend.  I will be in Cape May all weekend for a wedding and do not want to wait until Sunday evening to work on this.

I am hoping to open and read some peer reviewed texts so I can include some in my final, revised topic paper.  Will try to finish on Wednesday and Thursday so I can enjoy the weekend! 

Looking forward to seeing all my "restaurant friends" at the wedding - it's going to be held at the Naval Air Museum at the Cape May County Airport (cool idea)!

The Beginning of the End

Sept. 18th
Ok, first task, was to create topic idea - completed 45 minutes.  Thought it would have been easy to word this but got stuck on exactly how intervention was going to work.  Wrote a rough idea but need to put some more thought into how to fix this gap.  Next step is to complete syllabus quiz and Intro part of proposal - that will need to wait until tomorrow.  Need to sleep on this.
