Well I am trying to get that IRB training done. Last week during class our home was broken into. They took my fiances computer, camera and other electronic stuff. They did not get my laptop thank god because I had it on me. So, it has been a rough quarter I swear I think that bad luck follows me so I am keeping a positive attitude that things will get better. I working on my storyboard boy can I hardly draw. But, I think that the ideas come pretty clear.

Week Seven

I am currently deciding if I am going to be using students to gather information for my project. But, let me tell you honestly I have not really had time to work on my project. There has been so much going on with planning a wedding, adjusting the becoming a stepmom to two kids ages 8 and 11 and taking care of a mother who had back surgery last Friday. So, I think this summer will be my time to concentrate more on it. I am planning to submit my IRB training.
