Open universities can be great sometimes, but are usually okay. We have open universities that have accredited programs so that works too. I have a Masters degree from one of the best universities in my country so a second masters is just an additional qualification for me. My main masters program will always be the one that I have currently.

That's how we do it but I couldn't even get people to sign consent forms. There was a general fear that if their oppressors find out, they would make their life difficult. So I just had to go ahead with it. A lot of us who researched sensitive topics did not get the permission to record because of how rigid the society our participants live in, is.

Thank you so much! <3

The picture you took which was chosen for POTM is really pretty. I love the colors in it.

Sending you hugs. Miss you. Hope you are doing okay.

Hi How are you doing? I'm sorry for just getting back to you. I forgot. So what's going on? I have been with my friends and dancing a lot. Hugs.

Oh man. I hope the appointment goes well and things settle down. Good luck with the appointment.

Haha, I do have a debt but education here is cheaper. I am choosing US for my PhD because the stipend and exposure is more. I am planning to do a second masters through Open university, while working full time. It is a lot cheaper than a masters through a regular university and makes sense since I already have a full time masters.

I have! I hated my focus group recordings, I even had to video a couple of them ugh. I have done recorded interviews but not for my research. Since it was a sensitive topic, I did not get permission to record but my guide signed me off on that and I had to submit handwritten transcripts from during primary data collection which I did in the most disgusting handwriting ever, because I had to write so fast.

I am hoping to pick up small quantitative assignments at work and see if I can develop an interest in it. I have never had hybrid classes! They would probably confuse me because I take a lot of time to settle down with professors. Lol. I am glad you are doing your thesis with her and hopefully will be able to pick up what you missed out.

I will definitely message you, just give me some time. I move this weekend and join work on Monday so I have a busy schedule ahead

I'm glad you are okay, I wish you the best with you're internship projects. I'm okay, I'm finally doing well and I'm having a good summer. I hope you are having a good week. Hugs.

Hi, hope you are doing okay. Sending you hugs.

Oh man, migraines are the worst! I hope you are doing better now. <3

That sounds cool. I have been meaning to get a little more involved in the public health sector at some point, Might consider a second masters too but I am also interested in political science and I am super confused. I am going to take the next few months to focus on my work and maybe figure out what I want to study further.

I have grown to realize that quantitative isn't my strong point, that eliminates mixed method too. I am more of a qualitative research person but I have been repeatedly told to try and get more involved in quantitative research so I get better at it. I seem to have a mental block about it but that won't help during a Phd. Hopefully I get to a point where I can actually get over this block.

My research was on violence against women forced into prostitution through a cycle of religious beliefs and superstitions. I can give you more details over PM or Facebook/ Instagram messages.

I hope that you will be okay for school. How is you're summer going? I'm ok, now. Something happened and it was crazy. Summer is going for me.

I'm sorry that you are going through all of this and I hope that you will be okay soon. And sorry for just getting back with you. How are you doing now? Hugs
