I have finally gotten started on my introduction and have made some progress with it- I'm trying to work day by day to give time to the other loads of work I have to do (math particularly, and Psych). I still haven't started on my results or conclusion and I'm hoping time won't turn against me within the next two weeks as the semester starts coming to a close. I'm rushing, but I haven't started to panick yet--especially since I guess I really do work better under a little pressure.
I'm going to have to present what I have thus far on a board within the next couple of days. Thankfully I finished most of what I have to do for the ARP to put up on my board but I'm hoping the results won't play as a major factor... hopefully not. Otherwise I'm still working on collecting some things to put up that might be important, like surveys of my said results as well as photos of the observation I suppose, and I've set out a layout in my mind... it will be simple. Hopefully it will all work out well.

Too much!
I can't believe how overwhelmed I have been the last few days!
Especially while working on Grace's project for persuasion, I have had absolutely no time. In fact, in the last five days (Thursday afternoon through late Monday night) I have practically been living at STU! I mean, in the last five days I've been on campus working since 8:00 am to 8, sometimes 11:00 pm on the darn thing with the rest of my group. We are exhausted and have all sacrificed assignments in order to try and get this done... it's been terrible, but the day it will all be over is coming close.
But because of this assignment I was unable to complete the original observation I had been planning for. There was just absolutely NO TIME to go to Wilton Manor like I planned, so instead, I decided to do it on the LGBT event I attended Thursday, and at the same time adjusted two of my original guiding research questions:
1.) How have perceptions of LGBT changed in the past ten years?
2.) Through out the past ten years, has there been a development of LGBT tolerance in South Florida?
I'm not quite sure if I like the wording of the second question, but it rests along those lines.
But otherwise I havent gotten much else done in regards to class. I am STILL working on developing the Introduction to the RP, I haven't touched methodology (though I could easily do it in a couple of hours if I just had the time to sit and do so) and I've started writing the survey results but am nowhere near finished or even half way done, sad to say. I am disappointed in myself and how little I've completed, but amongst my troubles with stats class, this other project and all the things to do... I just don't know.
I only know I have to keep trying and make the time.

Interviews and survey upcoming results.
I still have a lot to do regarding my ARP, as well as my multimodule writings. However, considering how it start with my survey, I'm doing pretty well getting results. I've already had a whole twenty two people take the survey thus far and I hope there will still be more to come. I had hoped for a lot more but it's not bad considering all things.
I also had to drop half of the interviewees I had in mind. One due to a lack of time and other circumstances, and the second due to him not seeming to want to do the interview as well as a wide length of time between his responses being unacceptible amongst other things in his replies. But I'm happy I was able to successfully finish one, and I am on my way to doing the second which will be done on Monday. That's the day before interview results are due though, and because of work I'm worried I won't be able to finish transcribing and coding the latter... but I have nothing to lose by trying I guess. Plus I am going to talk to my manager to get Tuesdays and Thursdays off until the end of the semester so I have a little more time on my hands for projects.
The observation, I probably won't have due on time. I've talked to a friend willing to take me to Wilton Manor to do my observation on LGBT (what I will observe exactly, I am unsure as of yet) but due to scheduling conflicts and a lack of free time, we still have to work out a time to go together. Here's to hoping I'll be able to manage or at least get some kind of extension so we can make the trip and still get results.
Really, I just hope I'll be able to get everything done on time...
