Larissa's "when she feels like writing stuff" page

Ok, about to go to sleep... I'm so tired. Man I need to stop typing . since my damn period key busted! I'm great at busting keys! I don't think I'm one of those banger typers either!

We had a bi soccer game today! Good, I don't think I've calmed down from last game!! I went to Taco Tuesday and enjoyed some mmm tacos. Not a mmm chevala, but something none the less.

I started a new class yesterday, Research and Evaluation. I think this class (and Research Evaluation II) will be really benefical. I didn't realize how much I use statistics at work! Case load/amount, satisfaction surveys, budgeting... beneficial! I'm all about learning something I can immediately apply and use throughout my career! Unfortunately this class has more team assignments than individual. I definitely learn more with individual assignments.

My Mom's bday was on Friday, so we BBQ'ed at my house on Sunday. We BBQ'ed mmm cambodian kabobs from Chez Sovan. If you like ginger and lemongrass? You will love these! I bought freaken 75 since my Uncle Greg, his family (8 total), my Aunt Becca , her family (5 total), my folks, my bro, his heina and Mar came over. I still have TONS left! I think I'm kabobed out though. Actually, I may be down to only 8 or so left. You want a kabob?

I just completed cleaning up my house from the BBQ. 9 kids= mess! Fortunately they weren't THAT bad, but the dining and kitchen floors were icktified! I will be having another BBQ at my house in a few weeks when we send my good friend Tristian away to So. Ca. Tristian is getting married and moving away :(.

Woo I have massage tomorrow! AND get to see my love! Early day, early out, relax, then come home and clean some more...

Class Stuff, Levels of measurement in research->
Nominal- items are grouped (no specific relation)
Ordinal- items are grouped by order/rank
Interval- items are grouped in equal segments
Ratio- items are grouped by common scales/measurement associated with a ratio.

Eh, ok, something a little more useful... what is good research? When there is a CLEAR problem/issue identifed, boundaries are set, procedures are defined and are objective, issues/flaws encountered are noted, data researched/found is relevant (hey, go figure) and conclusion produced us supported by data researched. Maybe a little more useful?
