Thoughts on Microsoft Office Security

The Trust Center stuff in MS Office has been bugging me for a while now. I get sick of having to “enable editing” on documents that I created on another system, but may now be on a network drive location or floating about elsewhere. The thing that makes this more annoying is the part where […]

Looking to the Future

Somehow, in my world, plans seem to mean nothing. I planned how I wanted things to work out going from GC Gender Studies to MA Counseling to PhD Counseling, that plan has been derailed at step 2. One might think that this rather abrupt change of plans for me might cause me a fair amount […]

Rejection Sucks

I have a status on my application for the MA Counseling program now. All of the invitations for the group interviews have been sent out, but I did not receive one. This means that I am not admitted to the program. The worst part is it means that I am not even invited to the […]

Mastering My Options

I began my adventure into graduate-level coursework with a simple plan: take a graduate certificate in cognitive science, complete a Master’s degree in Clinical/Community Psychology, and then get my Ph.D. in Clinical Health Psychology. Every bit of this plan has been skewed. Initially I was rejected by the cognitive science program because I did not […]

A Few Topic Ideas for Cognitive Science

I have given my Cognitive Science paper a little thought and come up with a few options for places to start my paper from: Is the human brain or an artificial intelligence a more effective decision-making system? — This topic is very basic, and very subjective. I think I can write an effective paper on […]

I begin this semester working toward a graduate certificate in Gender, Sexuality and Women’s Studies as well as a graduate certificate in Cognitive Science. I have submitted applications to the departments of sociology and counseling to apply for their master’s level programs. I have the following […]

Admissions Statistics

I have applied for the Master of Arts in Counseling (Community) program and will be applying to the Master of Arts in Sociology program as well. I have reasons for really wanting in to both programs (or either program), but feel a little uncertain about my admissibility for a masters-level program, but do find a […]

Does this make me a minority?

The department of Institutional Research at UNC Charlotte has posted the fact sheets for the Fall 2011 semester. Below is an except from this report, showing the department of Women’s Studies, which operates the Graduate Certificate in Gender, Sexuality and Women’s Studies program. The one single “M” in the program is me. Does this make […]

My Google Scholar Listing

I have no clue how Google selects what articles are included in Google Scholar, all I know is I currently have a paper listed and it makes me a lot happy. I’m quite surprised that it is in the index so quickly. Nice way to end my first graduate semester. Posted from Charlotte, North Carolina, […]
