What's on your mind?

Aaaand just like that I basically have all of October booked with work. Huzzah for referrals.

...Missing persons and mysterious death counts will go on the rise in October in Florida.

Ready for this week to over with. I'm also ready for the rain to stop and the sun to come out so I can go to the beach.

We can trade.

Did anyone else's 'likes' go up big time? lol

Yeah it said i had 100 then 500 likes in one day. Or something like that. I never pay attention to how many but those two notifications in the same day was a bit odd.

Maybe they somehow converted old reps into likes? Or something?

I think it's been a gradual process or maybe just ones that were more recent. Because I had more reps than that and i noticed some old stuff that I had repped years ago says i liked it.
Which is kinda weird because I didn't always "like" every post i repped. I and others used it as an alternate private message thing.
I miss reps. I prefer sending reps over sending posts... But the liking thing is alright too.

I'm confused by that too. It seems as if some but not all reps turned into likes.... hmmm.

On my mind: I have to pull a presentation out of a hat this afternoon, and I am getting nowhere... same place I was at lunchtime, except now I know there is no data to support my original thesis.

 

[grandvizier1006]

Seems like it has been. Meh!
If I may ask, what was the election for? County or someone for your whole state? That would indeed be stupid.

Various things. Municipal, county, and state. And while some elections had sensible results, this has shown me that many people are completely ignorant about politics. I genuinely think the election was rigged. How very convenient that a stupid truck driver who spent no money on his campaign and we had no idea of what he looked like just BARELY wins the nomination for gubernatorial candidate! Now it means that our incumbent virtually has no competition at all!

And of course, the local media is laughing it up. If their precious Phil Bryant had inexplicably been voted out they wouldn't have been so happy.i feel like bever voting again, although I technically was not allowed to vote in the specific primary race that that creature won in.

Thanks.

I feel like if I can just find a thesis that I can actually support, then it will all be easy from there. The problem is that all my ideas so far have been just about impossible to prove. Yikes. I guess I have about 13 hours left, but, of course, I have to sleep for some of them.

 

[MiniEmu]

Do you have to prove them, or is presenting a strong case for further research and/or the potential good enough?

Either way, I'm sure your marvellous brain will find something suitable.

Why does it have too be a thesis? Cant you find something that is near enough to your mark but your showing your own ideas thats how things are discovered

This teacher is really weird...

He has been talking about thesis statements and independent variables for two weeks. He is VERY picky about having a perfect thesis statement and everything in the presentation being relevant to the thesis.

Problem is, I had a thesis statement ironed out and everything, but I can't find 12 slides worth of data that clearly supports my thesis.

The hardest thing is that this is a TEXAS government class and we have to use TEXAS data.... which is actually kinda hard to come by. I've found US data, but that "isn't relevant" because there are so many "other variables."

I'm trying to think of a new topic/thesis that will work, but I'm getting nowhere. It's so hard to get the data I need. And it doesn't help that I grew up in another state and really don't know how to treat Texas issues.

You can only use data from your state....

Seriously

So when I was upset yesterday, I just called out to God and opened my bible to a random page. Well. I opened up to Kings, with the story about Elijah and the prophets of Baal. I read it, and was like. God, really? This has nothing to do with my situation!!!!
Then God was like: Just look at it closer.
Even though all those people where against Elijah... He had me on his side. He made it through, and proved I was God.
So then I was like: Alight God, I get it. Even though I feel like everyone is against me, your on my side because I am on your side.
And then he was like: Duh, so get your head out of your butt girl.

Well, maybe not in those words but that was pretty much the conversation.

Yeahhhh. I can use national data if it really really ties in. But I sat there and watched him edit a friend's presentation and he complained about every single place where she used national data, in many cases saying to replace it with Texas statistics.

Ok.... try finding Texas statistics on teen mental health. Texas median SAT and ACT scores. Median scores for Texas (only) achievement tests. Statistics on the percent of teens IN TEXAS who have smartphones. Ugh. All my ideas are getting flushed down the toilet.

 

[TheGirlOnFire]

Yeah, yesterday I had like 200 something... Now I have over a thousand.

But wowww, look at yours! 3,356!

SHOW OFFS lol x

Is their something wrong with him?

Seriously we can use any viable research we can....


This is worrying really worrying if your only allowed too do that
