and the pressure is on...

So now I remember why its so difficult to be a working mom earning her masters degree: class assignments! This Thursday I have my first assignment due. An interview paper. I had a difficult time finding someone to interview, and I'm having an even more difficult time thinking up interview questions (I honestly don't know what exactly the purpose of this paper is). Then, two week after Thursday, I have a HUGE paper due. I have to write an 8 page paper about a topic of my choice, but I have to talk about research methods...since none of what we are reading seems to have anything to do with research methods, again I feel a bit in the dark.
Please don't make this so hard that I'll have to take the class over again....
I can keep up with the reading, and I can complete assignments that I understand, its these assignments that I don't get that are the hard part...
Wish me luck!!
