My nominal and operational definitions suck, but I have a PRETTY flow chart to demonstrate how my TEN variables interrelate. And it's all been printed for about half an hour now.
Thanks to you all for your reasons for lying, etc, etc, because it showed me I wasn't really missing anything that I couldn't categorize in the variables I'd already mentioned.
The fact that it's now done means that I must go make more tea and work on my lit review until I drop of exhaustion, only to rest for a couple of hours, then wake up again and work on it 'till 6pm when I leave for class.
<looks at clock> That means I have 14.5 hours or so to finish the lit review and sleep for maybe four hours.
No problem.
(Hahaha, denial is so fun!)
Also, work stuff!
( The best and worst day of my career in the telephone interviewing business. )Off to make tea to bolster me though the next four hours or so.
