PLEASE HELP!!!!

''The main purpose of this essay is to help me to understand the nature and perspectives of the different theoretical discussions, how they influence the researcher’s choice when conducting a research. In this paper I will compare the various research processes, the respective outcome when applying these different theoretical approaches and why different choices influence the process.''

OLD fashioned professors

Had a call with an old fashioned professor this morning. It was quite an experience after not having to deal with  professors for over 10 years!

First experience 20 years ago, with old Australian professors, who used no technology except projector slides and old textbooks.

Second experience was with British old professors, who again uses no technology except projector slides and newer textbooks.

Now, third experience 20 years after my bachelor degree, in digital age and information century, with old Finnish professors, who to my greatest surprise, uses NO TECHNOLOGY - use printed handouts which we must PURCHASE, prefer face to face meetings instead of email discussions, uses textbooks that are 10 to 20 years old, and need hard copy assignments by POSTAL mail!

OH MY GOD! I am living backwards!

Face-off Day!

Wow, heavenly! I had my very first face spa today! First ever after living in Finland for 5 years :P  These used to be my monthly ritual in Asia, but in Finland, it was quite challenging when I do not have the language skills nor ability to find out more about the treatment, products etc. This treat was from my lovely mother in law, and so now, I could go for more treatments in future :D HAPPY!

Kid's Ski Competition

Kids have a mini competition in school today. B was the only participants for his age group, and J turned out to be second in her age group. Anyway, the most important thing is, they both had lots of fun, took away some nice prizes and played with their friends. As for us, the parents - we manage to catch up with one another, which is rare occasion :D Well done kids!
