Snow is melting, getting bored? Help me out then!

Thanks for your comments. I understand where you are coming from and hear your concerns. I go to a non-traditional college though thus the type of thesis work that I am doing is inherently different than that of most schools. This project is focused on cultural/community studies and the type of research that we have been asked to do is mostly ethnographic field work, as in talking with people and obtaining our own perspective from discussion with others. Our thesis is strongly based upon our own individual experiences and interpretations. It was not my intention to obtain data from these questions, but rather a sense of trends and common themes. I left my questions a little vague as to allow that answerer more lee-way with their own feedback and it seems as though everyone has understood them well. I asked names simply for my own personal reference. I hope this helps you understand my reasoning some and I'd be happy to answer any more questions you had.
