This week I wanted to feel more comfortable talking through MOO during our class Wed. evenings and I wanted to work on making my journal entries a little better. My first goal was accopmlished; Abbye, Cindy, and I sat in the computer lab in Smith hall (we didn't even try to go into a different computer lab--fear we might be in a classroom again..oops). We all logged in just fine (with some minor problems--but nothing too big) and got some good questions answered. I didn't really have any certain questions, but some people who are ahead of me on their assignments or research, their questions will be helpful along the way. As far as all three of us being in the computer lab together...we had a good time. It not only is more enjoyable, but it is comforting to know that if anything goes wrong we can help each other out. As far as my other goal, I am trying to follow instructions more careful and include more in my journals. Did I accomplish that goal? I guess we'll see.....:)
The assignments this week seemed to be less stressful than the prior weeks. I have not done my Project Prospectus, which is one that I am a little worried about--I guess that's why I put it off til last.
I am a little concered about my research topic. I am not sure if I am going in the right direction. As I was researching I found some information that questioned my topic. My topic only questions the speech problems Parkinson's disease patients have, but I think that I should include more than speech. What about swallowing and communication in general. As an SPL all those problems will be of my concern and will be useful for me to know. However, will that make my topic too broad?
Well, I'm hoping I will have the question answered by the end of next week. I guess I'll just see how it goes:)
