So I've got to do this project for psychology where I get a number of volunteers, ask them about their levels of optimism and motivation at the beginning of a 30 day period, and then again after the period is over. During the 30 day period, the volunteers work towards bettering themselves in some way; you might work a little harder in school or quit smoking cigarettes or try to exercise - it really doesn't matter (and you really don't need to do anything). As a volunteer, you'll need to occasionally look at a blog and give an update on your situation - did you RESIST TEMPTATION by not going to McDonalds or stay up late to work on a paper instead of watching TV?

To be honest I think the project is pretty dumb but I need a few more volunteers for it. I'll ask you a few questions occasionally about any progress you're making (you really don't need to do much) and I'll ask you to post on the blog maybe 3 or 4 times in the 30 day period, but you don't have very much to do. Even more than participating in this stupid project, I'm asking you to HELP ME GET AN A.

So yeah, I'd really like a few volunteers for this. I'll explain it a little better to anyone who decides to sign up or whatever, but it's not at all difficult, you don't have to do very much other than look at a blog occasionally, and it helps me do well in my psychology class.

i will be doing high dose chemo which is supposed to make me better but i'm guaranteed to feel worse by the end of the 30 days.

then again you might get a cooler story than the others!

Well, I don't have cancer, but I'll do it if you want my help. It might be kind of fun.

If you want to wait it out and see if you get any more colourful characters then I'll be the fall back guy.

Well I need 10 people and right now I've only got 5, but I'll definitely need more than 5 more people because I'm like 90% sure at least 2 will drop out. I'll take as many participants as I can get!!

Alright, cool, thanks a lot everyone. I'll be sending you all PMs tomorrow with a couple questions and a link to the blog. You can start as soon as you get the PMs and I want to remind you that you don't really need to work that hard.
