how is it coming along? What do you need to do to complete it? How do you plan to accomplish this? What areas of difficulty are you encountering? How might you overcome these obstacles?
Right now, I have my outline fully completed. I have my introduction completed finished. Tonight and tomorrow, I will be mapping out where I want to take my essay. By Thursday I plan on having more than half of it done and Saturday I will finish it up. Then Sunday I will look over it again then post it for everyone’s viewing pleasure.
I am happy with my progress because of how much I usually procrastinate. I am shocked that I have been able to focus on it all with what is going on in my life, but it in a way has let me bury myself in it and let me escape from my problems for a little while until I hit a writer’s block.
I already said what I plan on doing to get my paper done, but what I have total to do is: finish my body paragraphs and then my conclusion paragraph.
I found the most difficult areas to be finding quotes from my sources that all support each other and help me develop a stronger paper. It was also a pain to find sources to include because I honestly do not like hunting for sources, but once I find a source and see something I can use I get so excited. I know I will overcome any problems that I will face because I have to and because I know that I have the intelligence to do it, I just need to find the patience for it. When I get impatient, I give up and come back later unless I have no time to come back later.
I would rather not have to write the paper, but I know I have to. It is just human nature to not want to do something they are not too excited about. I am just happy that this paper is due this week and not last week because I know I more than likely would not have been able to finish it. I am definitely going to take full advantage of my Thursday being completely empty and use it to my full advantage. I plan on using Thursday to finish my paper and doing my laundry. Just a side note, it is amazing how much clothing you were in one week and how much laundry you have to do. Also a lesson I have learned is always put your clothes away after drying them because if you leave them in a hamper, you will soon forget if the clothes are dirty or not and probably end up washing your clean clothes again.
I am very happy that our paper is not too long. I might have cried if it was supposed to be ten pages, maybe an exaggeration but I would have felt like crying.
I would have cried if it was a ten page paper. I would have been bawling. And then I would have probably eaten a whole carton of ice cream, and then gone back to bed. I'm such a drama queen. I'm so glad that it's only 6 pages, and that it's due this week. Because I need to rewrite the last essay, and I really need to finish researching this one. Icky.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you have all your sources. i hate trying to find them too. I don't get very excited when I find one, I just feel relieved. Except for the one time where I found someone's thesis paper about how the lyrics of the band Rage Against the Machine explained everything that's wrong with the world. I got very excited about that, because it was a very interesting paper. But as for sources, alas, I have none. That needs to be fixed today.
Good job that you have a plan of what to do with it! I applaud you! I'm sorry about what ever is happening in your life. I hope it gets better soon. But at least it's causing your paper to get done! Meanwhile, have fun with all your laundry! ;)
