As much as I enjoy doing research, quantitative research is not my favourite. I have an entire class in that area this term. I am the ONLY enrolled student in that class. It is not an elective. It is a core course. There is no forum for discussion. There is no professor assigned. I hate it.
Finally wrote my Dear John letter - I am sure the dean (whose name is John) cringes when he sees new mail in the inbox from me. But no choice. I needed some assistance. And considering the fact that every other student gets tutorials on every subject every second weekend, I am not asking for a great deal. We will see what comes of the question. He did reply speedily, with a name of some person to offer as a tutor. I wrote. But now wait to see if they can read, speak, or understand English, and hopefully have a Skype account. If no Skype, it can be a slow process, or a sleepless one for me if I have to hover around the internet on their schedule waiting for some responses.
I never did get a response as to why I am the only student enrolled in that course, and appear to be the only one EVER enrolled in it. Maybe I need to do some quantitative research in this area and see if I am simply being tested on something that has nothing to do with the degree, or that it really is not a core course and no one in their right mind would take it. For now, I muddle along, unhappily.
from the last few days in Canada and forward, you can join me in my thoughts and actions as I learn how to live in a country that I had not even known the exact location until Ryan was there a few years ago. Some days I have rants and other days I have adventures, but every day is a learning experience that I embrace and thank God I was given the opportunity to know and to be. I might even upload a picture of me in this place I now call home – for now.
