Andi's reaserch notebook by

a playlist I made that I feel like accurately portrays my stress level this week

ag4386 — 2025-08-25 04:10:25 UTC

for this class, my biggest concern is that I feel like I panic when I'm not given the most specific instructions, this is the face I made when I read "please resist the need to be told exactly what to include and what to write"

ag4386 — 2025-08-25 04:15:03 UTC

one issue I've noticed on campus in the lack of cover from rain when walking from the parking garage to the dorms, I got SOAKED walking from my car today

ag4386 — 2025-08-25 04:24:18 UTC

I think the first meeting with my research group went well, they were pretty chill people and we had a good conversation

ag4386 — 2025-08-25 04:28:08 UTC

I have successfully completed my first week in college, I survived, now I've got to do it again I guess

ag4386 — 2025-08-31 19:09:36 UTC

one issue on campus: the lack of affordable and decent tasting water available on campus

ag4386 — 2025-08-31 19:18:01 UTC

an update to the Spotify playlist that portrays my stress levels per week

ag4386 — 2025-08-31 19:40:08 UTC

another problem is the awful traffic from around 3 to 5 because of the dismissal of the surrounding schools, which really sucks because I'm getting stuck in traffic trying to come home from the oceanographic campus

ag4386 — 2025-08-31 23:05:33 UTC

One good thing about our campus is although limited, there are many options for those with dietary restrictions, like me for example, I am gluten free and every restaurant on campus has at least one thing I can eat

ag4386 — 2025-08-31 23:18:01 UTC

another positive thing on campus is the abundance of clubs and activities, such as the club cheer team!

Why are the water bottles on campus $3.00!?

ag4386 — 2025-09-07 23:55:41 UTC

ag4386 — 2025-09-08 00:05:19 UTC

Also, why does the water that comes from this machine kinda terrible, it tastes so bad :(

ag4386 — 2025-09-08 00:18:22 UTC

yet another update to the Spotify playlist; it is now an hour and forty four minuets long

key terms:

ag4386 — 2025-09-08 01:07:41 UTC

key words from my article

ag4386 — 2025-09-08 01:13:14 UTC

a bottle of Life water costs $1.74 at Walmart, charging $2.99 at the market on campus is insane- its Florida, its hot, hydration is important!

ag4386 — 2025-09-15 02:10:49 UTC

And I'm back at it again with my Spotify playlist

ag4386 — 2025-09-15 02:13:29 UTC

one of my struggles with citations is that I am bad at remembering all the steps to it and I get anxious about making sure I do it right

ag4386 — 2025-09-15 02:20:01 UTC

but because I know I suck at remembering citation steps, I took color coded notes to follow along with when I have to create or check a citation

ag4386 — 2025-09-15 02:25:55 UTC

At target; you can get 32 bottles of water for $4.89, but in the schools market, that amount of money wouldn't even buy you 2 water bottles.

ag4386 — 2025-09-15 02:33:00 UTC

tomorrow I will be rewarding myself with banana bread for finishing my Worknet draft

would you like some?

I'm serious, email me if you would like me to bring you some home-made (gluten free) banana bread on Tuesday.

primary research method

ag4386 — 2025-10-01 02:55:38 UTC

Im thinking about using an interview as one of my primary research methods because I want to know the opinions of others about water on campus

other research methods:

ag4386 — 2025-10-06 09:29:43 UTC

possibly considering a survey instead of interviews because they are defiantly easier to disperse to a wide variety of people

stress update

ag4386 — 2025-10-06 09:32:17 UTC

me when midterms are next week

me when I finished my annotated bib

ag4386 — 2025-10-06 09:36:20 UTC

ag4386 — 2025-10-06 09:38:47 UTC

I have honestly no clue which research method to use aside from interviews

Me literally 2 hours ago...

ag4386 — 2025-10-06 09:39:30 UTC

Me when I finished my CITI training

so.... its midterms week

ag4386 — 2025-10-06 09:44:29 UTC

Ill be so honest, I've been procrastination central recently, Im very stressed, and very, very scared for this week

Primary research methods

ag4386 — 2025-10-06 09:47:58 UTC

So, I am defiantly using interviews because I really want to focus on other peoples thoughts and opinions, and I want to be able to dig deeper than what a survey would allow

for my second research method

ag4386 — 2025-10-06 09:51:27 UTC

Im considering site-based observations, maybe some sort of observation of a couple water fountains in either the dorms, UC or Detsantes to see how often they are used

question for you

ag4386 — 2025-10-06 09:53:59 UTC

Do you think my pictures are funny?

ag4386 — 2025-10-22 04:48:44 UTC

me trying to remember how to write the second I opened my lit review draft

ag4386 — 2025-10-22 04:50:03 UTC

this essay feels a little too much like the ap lang synthesis essay for comfort

ag4386 — 2025-10-22 04:53:28 UTC

from the sample essays I learned that its okay to say "I" in my essay when talking about my research I've done for this project

my weekly stress update:

ag4386 — 2025-10-22 04:56:17 UTC

screaming, crying, almost threw up

ag4386 — 2025-10-22 04:59:38 UTC

genuinely what do you mean this is week 10 of our semester....

researching part one

ag4386 — 2025-11-10 19:21:10 UTC

I have interviewed a lot of my classmates and sorority sisters

researching part two

ag4386 — 2025-11-10 19:25:02 UTC

I feel creepy watching people in the UC at the water bottle filler

overall researching is going well

ag4386 — 2025-11-10 19:28:28 UTC

Ive interviewed enough people to determine that generally a lot of people seem to agree that the tap water is iffy

Also

ag4386 — 2025-11-10 19:30:43 UTC

So many students here prefer bottled water because it tastes better than the tap

ag4386 — 2025-11-10 19:32:20 UTC

I am so stressed right now now

progress of the week part 1:

ag4386 — 2025-11-10 19:36:54 UTC

I finished my interviews! 10 people told me about water!

progress of the week part 2:

ag4386 — 2025-11-10 19:37:39 UTC

I felt very creepy doing so but I fished my observations as well

progress of the week part 3:

ag4386 — 2025-11-10 19:39:44 UTC

So, I was able to finish the methods section of my essay

ag4386 — 2025-11-10 19:42:32 UTC

Im so happy I was able to use this lovely picture again

ag4386 — 2025-11-10 19:43:08 UTC

I fear Im more stressed this week

Rant corner

ag4386 — 2025-11-18 16:42:10 UTC

On Sunday night right after I submit the final research paper my computer dies, I can't find my charger. I order one off of amazon that says it will arrive Monday morning, perfect! IT DOESN'T FIT MT MACBOOK. I take it to whole food to return it, I order another to arrive this morning, it does and it fits. I finally have a computer again

ag4386 — 2025-11-18 16:44:34 UTC

The most difficult assignment this semester for me I think is the quote collection because that was a lot of work especially because I decided to expand it.

weekly stress level

ag4386 — 2025-11-18 16:51:43 UTC

at least its better than last week

ag4386 — 2025-11-18 16:59:54 UTC

I do not like how close to finals week we are

ag4386 — 2025-11-18 17:01:21 UTC

I am very excited to go home for thanksgiving, I miss my dog
