3 goals c:

Goal 1) My first goal for my group semester project is to somehow finish the graphs for the survey results. We need to do this so we can began to showcase our findings. We then can begin to analyze and understand how our program would work if initiated. From that we can plan our future research and come up with a solid project.

Goal 2) My second goal for the overall group blog is a united decision. My group members and I have decided that we need to explore the board game world and play more variety of games.From this, we will be able to determine what kind of set rules we like to play by, what is intertaining to us, and what dort of things we don't like about the games. This will help us create a game that will oth be engaging, captivating, and at the same time challenging.

Goal 3) Last but not least my individual blog. I have decided the topic i had originally chosen doesn't capture my intrest as much as I thought it would have. I would like to change it to the topic of drug use. Things like why people use them, how they get them, how they feel when they take them, and then the after math of all of it. It fascinates me to no end. However,I do not know if this is ok yet with my teachers. I want to meet with them and discuss it, but there seems to be no time. I am also facing the option of still wanting to drop this class. Over break I shall be discussing my options with my parents about it and when I come back from break I will need to set up a meeting with my counsaler to discuss the final decision.

New Topic (/.\)

I have officially decided that my previous topic of social psychology doesn't interest me enough to research into it more.However, I have figured out a topic that has always interested me to no end. That topic is drug abuse. Marijuana,cocaine, mushrooms,etc.. The people who abuse these toxins have fascinated me. The way the drugs affect them and the reasons behind the choice to use them has always peaked my interest. Tomorrow I will set up a meeting with my gifted teachers and discuss with them if I am able to switch my topics.

Peer Pressure?:o

Thursday, during 6th period, my group members Nate and Andy had gone to one of the remedial English classes to survey them for our semester project. For the other classes we surveyed we had passed out a paper with the questions printed on it. This way the people taking it could write whatever they want and explain their answers. However when Nate and Andy went to survey Mrs.Means class, Nate had thrown out the survey and had rather done the survey by verbally reading out the questions. Now you're thinking big deal right? It's faster that way. The problem with this is one of the questions asked wether you'd feel more comfortable with a student or adult as a buddy. Apparently most of the students raised their hands for student. But what if some answers were because everyone else raised their hand? You wouldn't want to be that kid that's more comfortable with an adult then a student right? Everyone would think you're odd right? This is why I believe that the results from Mrs.Means 6th period remedial English class results have been a little off.
