Rawrghhh. My friend and I have been trying to do some research for a project all morning, with absolutely no results. We've been looking for information on psycholinguistic variables in relation to the German language, but all the articles that come up are either irrelevant or not available to us - which doesn't make much sense, since we're using the school website and the articles that come up SHOULD be in library holdings. I've tried Google Books/Scholar and other search engines as well, to no avail. It's frustrating and unproductive and bleghhhh.
We both don't mind committing time and doing the work, but I have no idea how we're going to make any progress or headway in this state. Our last resort would be to write a bunch of eloquent rubbish and guess our way through the report - which isn't exactly feasible, because neither of us know German, and we're not knowledgeable enough about the topic to make 'educated guesses' reliably. -sigh-
In other news, my wireless is still working intermittently; it comes in spurts of maximum two minutes, before disappearing for no apparent reason and refusing to come back on. My dad tinkered around with stuff last night so it worked at home, but this morning in school it suddenly went off. I went to the computer centre to get it looked at, and it suddenly started working. I brought it back to the school cafeteria, and it stopped. The technician ordered a new wireless card for me, just in case that's the problem. It'll only come in two weeks, though. I'm just praying that it will work at home, otherwise my dad will probably move the router out of his room so that I can connect to it directly from the living room.
Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh.
