work has been awesome so far =D i have really nice colleagues to work with, so that makes going to work happpppy! and yes, im still looking forward going to prisons for data collection and interviews =) i think its interesting talking to the inmates and i think there are a lot of misconceptions that inmates are violent and aggressive...you know, like how they used to think people with mental disorders are 'crazy and violent'....but obviously thats all wrong. in fact, those inmates are really chatty (of course there are those grumpy ones) and they do share stuff with you, and i thought thats pretty nice =) but of course we do need to keep in mind what offences they commit though. not everyone is as nice of course. 

been reading many journal articles and writing papers. oh man. felt like im still in school somehow =x im like burning my weekends clearing my work, which explains my 'lazy-ness' to blog. but anw, i think the job is good because i do get a balance of spending some time in office writing, and out at prisons interacting with other people. so yeah, thumbs up for now! 

anyway im getting my first pay soon! woohoo! =D
