Debate time

As I write this I am watching the presidential debate. I have to say I never closely watched debates from past elections, and if I did watch them it was only for school or at the begging of my parents.

I'm happy to say that this year though, I have been watching the debates enthusiastically. I am surprised at how much I actually enjoy watching them. I suppose this is because I am able to vote this year, and I want to fully understand the views of both candidates.

I'm also proud to mention that I am a HUGE McCain fan! He will be getting my vote (and I would vote for him twice if I could) on the fourth.

The only issue is that my roommate is an Obama supporter. And I have to say the looks she gives me when I criticize Obama's points during this debate are pretty awkward...

Question for you readers: McCain or Obama? feel free to comment =)

PS: My proposal is done! I submitted it to Professor Scott and she received it free of technological issues! (thankfully)

Honestly, I am really happy with how the final copy of my proposal turned out. I think I was clear with what I wanted out of the research, and I also think I was able to create an informative and effective background to my proposed research. I think a helpful exercise was one we did in class last week, when we listed all of the qualities we thought were in an effective research proposal. I definitely had those in mind as I wrote mine!

One struggle I encountered, however, was the research methodology. I found it difficult to decide how much detail to include about how to carry out the proposed research. I ended up detailing what kind of questions were in my research surveys and who I would send each survey to.
