Weekly Blog #9

I would say the most difficult aspect of my research thus far, has been setting up interviews. The only real problem about it is scheduling them. So far I have one person scheduled for an interview, and some other people have agreed to meeting with me, but we have been unable to schedule a certain time that works for both of us. The easiest thing I would say is coming up with an argument to use in my mini-ethnography through my research. Once I found out some information I didn't know beforehand I realized this is what I should write about, which is that not all evangelical Christians will force their beliefs down your throat. Cru suffers in its outreach because of that stereotype. 

I'm not sure if I would do anything different, but working on this project during the day would be so much better than the early morning hours of dawn, so I would definitely realize that work comes before play, and actually do my homework during the day instead of waiting until midnight to start. 

This blog has really helped me get my thoughts together on the direction I am taking this paper in. It helped me form my argument, see what aspects of my writing I need to work on, and also helped me in my research in the field sites. I believe this blog will help me form even more ideas, and also how to make the mini-ethnography somewhat entertaining with my writing skills, which is important because who wants to read something that is boring? I think it will also prepare me in getting my ideas sorted out and stating them in a logical format in the mini-ethnography.
