MA, baby
MA defense on May 17.
Research question: Does the effect of internet usage vary across different types of political participation?
Between now and Monday I need to:
- recode dependent variables to reflect large number of missing values
- run descriptive statistics on participation variables
- scan National Election Survey codebook for more political knowledge questions
- construct a political knowledge additive scale
- run logit models in order to rank political activities based on amount of information required prior to engagement
- run logit models for internet use and political participation
- write up data and methodology section by Saturday
- write up complete draft by Monday morning
- get stress level under control
- try not to throw up during defense
All of a sudden I'm having flashbacks to my first stats-intensive semester of gradschool. Butterflies in my stomach all over again. Who knew that statistical analyses could be that exciting!!!

You'll do fine because you are brilliant. Don't worry so much!
good luck :) you'll do fine!
Not only are you smart enough to do well, you also should remember that, at least in terms of your research question, you're the expert and they aren't.
You'll do fine.
Oh - and get some rest before.
jenn: i have donna, eric, and gretchen on my committee. they are all very nice and have been really good about making me feel it's all going to be fine. but still...btw, are you still in town?
z: thanks. i know i will be fine when it's over ;)
awarnock: loving my topic definitely helps. it's always nice to be able to give a relatively enthused presentation. i just wish i had a tiny bit more time. but one never feels ready for stuff like that so i'll just have to get through it one way or another. ;)
thank you all for being so supportive.
Yep, I'm still around. I have a doctor's appt in Hershey on the 17th, then I'm going home for my baby brother's high school graduation on the 18th. But I'll be around for the next week. And I'll be back here at the end of May.
cool! we should definitely hang out (maybe after the defense?)! hope you feel better!
Good luck Petya!
thank you, sassy sally! how was your trip back home? :)
good luck :)
good luck next week, p. you will do so well!
Good luck (number 5) from me!;)
Good luck, and remember you can always let your committee talk amongst themselves, while you sit back and take notes :)
The one thing that should calm you down is knowing that they would not let you do this, if you weren't ready. And you will go great. Good luck!
thank you, lemon, tree, and niki! isn't it strange that two of my favorite women in the world are both plants? ;)
elena, you're right. if anything, academics love to talk! i should just let them...:)
*thumbs crossed* :)
thanks dim!
