Maybe it's because I sympathize a little too well, but this cracks me up:

Okay so I don't have $50k of debt and I'm a little older, but still...this could be me.

I have an advising committee! Huzzah!

Dr Ryan Howell, the fabulous, kind, positive, brilliant psychologist will be my new adviser. I'm excited. He seems not only to be willing and supportive, but also helpful.

With Rita as my second reader, I'm all set!

Now I'm contemplating making my own life a little more difficult, but my thesis a bit more kick-ass by conducting interviews to develop better items for my sexual esteem scale.

Anyhow :)

Academia is sucking a little less at the moment.

It's called researchlj
How do I link to a community?
Anyhow...it's going to be about/for research on livejournal, blogs, internet, etc from a social science perspective.

Monica...you should post about your Masters thesis. Yes. Good good.

Also, would you mind helping me promote it? I suck at that sort of thing.

my comment about my survey. Please copy and paste the whole comment :) Thanks!

Hi.

I am doing a research study on how people use livejournals. I am interested in the differences between what topics people write about in public versus private posts. Also, I want to understand more about how people express their identity and their sexuality in their livejournals. If you are 18 or older and interested in filling out my survey (10-30 minutes), please follow this link: http://www.oeducationalevents.com/LJ.HTM

A little about me:

My name is Kat. I am a graduate student in the Human Sexuality Studies program at SFSU. My email address is: researcherkat@gmail.com

Thanks!

Kat Scoggin

My advising professor is Deborah Tolman (dtolman@sfsu.edu).

So my last thesis was painful. I mean getting anyone to take any interest in it, academically speaking, was like pulling teeth. Everyone had an excuse not to advise it. No one had any helpful input.

Now, everyone I talk to is super excited about my MA thesis. Not just "nod-and-smile" interested, but really, genuinely excited and anticipating what I come out with. So refreshing. So nice.

So much pressure.

Anywho...about my thesis.
Adolescent sexuality
from the perspectives of two stages of development, adolescence and early adulthood
adolescent perspective gotten from livejournal blogs
early adulthood perspective from online interviews with blog authors

Fun times.


btw. life's great. Jim's great. Making wedding plans is fun. I love my life.

Current Mood: happy

It has to do with livejournal and sexuality. It's a quick, 30 question survey. It would be super great if you filled it out and reposted it in your own journals or communities you read. The more people I get, the better!

Don't you wanna help?

I'll be needing help starting around noon on Friday. If you're available and you want my undying love and affection. Please give me a call so we can meet up at my old place or new place.



p.s. I do not exist. Because I do not read LJ consistently. Love me even though I default on my LJ. Please love me.
