Content analysis

I don't know what it is, but sitting and working at a computer for an extended period of time makes me hungrier than does running, swimming, or any other kind of workout. I hope that's a testament to how well instead of how poorly my brain is working.

I've been working on this content analysis project for a polisci class, which basically involves reading the newspapers everyday and analyzing every article on the Reasonable Accomodation hearings that comes up. The problem is that my partner and I appear to have left a major buzzword off our coding scheme: language. Oops. Looks like I'm going to have to go over these again...

Sitting in the library on a Saturday evening is a very strange feeling. The Run for the Cure is tomorrow morning, and given that I have to get up early I figured that an early Walksafe shift should have me home in plenty of time to get some rest. Ergo, I am here. My system probably needs it, though - I had quite a night last night. The fact that we lost our hockey game definitely did not put a damper on my spirits.

Sitting beside the window in the Ferrier labs makes me feel like I'm outside

Two things to note:
1. I seem to have caught the plague from Ben, and the fact that I sacrificed a warmer spot in the FACL in favour of sitting beside the window and pretending I'm outside enjoying the sunshine is probably not helping my sore throat.
2. Two MPs and a Senator have replied in the affirmative! This is all kinds of exciting. We're both still running around, chasing down sources of funding, but we have enough left in the account to take 3 women to Ottawa. So, at least now we know that Women in House will happen, no matter how small.
(note to all MPs and donors that may be reading this: we are still shooting for 35 people - I'm just giddy with excitement.)
This is awesome.


My first hockey game is tonight. I know it sounds funny, but I'm actually worrying what to wear (how typical of me, right?) But seriously, though - I don't want to freeze but I don't want to overheat, either. Someone help me!

First post, or something equally original

So here I go again, dusting off my blogging skills and giving it another go...
