BLOG POST #2: Stressed out to da max

• GOALS:
  
  My goal for this week is to read and annotate at least half of my first book that I had read in the summer again. This will help me gather more important quotations and find the clearest connections and points between the two books that I will be able to use for my paper.
  
  My second goal is to figure out the order in which the information in my paper will go. I want to organize my argument in a chronological way, but also in a way that best argues my thesis.
  
  ACTIVITIES:
  
  Because we were in the library so much this week, I was able to find more than the minimum amount of sources required that I will use to cite my paper.
  
  I also was able to create different piles of notecards pertaining to the different sections of my paper and its argument.
  
  PROBLEMS:
  
  There has been a lot of stress surrounding other classes lately, and I have not been able to take a step back and breath like I normally do.
  
  This is more of a personal problem, but in the past week, my aunt, who had cancer earlier in 2014, just died. My parents had to fly out to Michigan and I have been staying with a friend. Although it is nice to be around a good friend and have fun, it has only made me feel even more stressed out about the upcoming week and the things I have to do.
  
  REFLECTIONS:
  
  I realized I need to be keep my word to myself. I always make commitments in my head, and then get sidetracked or don't take them seriously. It is time to become very serious about my schoolwork, and remember not to relax until everything I need to get done is done.
