I have been doing homework for 5 hours straight and I am not done but its okay

GOALS:  My goals for this week revolve around adding discussion to my paper.  Tomorrow, our first rough draft is due.  I chose to turn in Chapter 2 of my paper, because after receiving my outline back, that was the Chapter that seemed to need the most work.  My goal is to get a lot of positive feedback on the changes I made to that chapter, so that I can move on to my next goal of completing Chapter one of my paper.
 
ACTIVITIES:  This past week, I worked on improving my paper during class time.  I was very happy with the grade I received on the outline, because I thought I was going to do worse for SURE.  I tweaked my paper a bit to form a better argument and while waiting for feedback on how to fix my second chapter, I began working on my first chapter.  I'm glad I did this instead of wasting class time, because now I have a head start on my first chapter and won't have to do as much work on it.

PROBLEMS:  I was facing the problem of how to fix the end of my Chapter 2 paper, but after talking about it with Sarah, she informed me that I could use the end as more of a long conclusion to my paper.  This put my mind at ease, because I honestly thought I was going to have to rewrite the last three claims of my paper and that would be terrible.

REFLECTION:  I feel right on track with where I am in the writing process.  My stress level is low, but I am preparing myself for spring sports to come into the mix with school, ACT and social life.  Hopefully, having less free time makes me procrastinate less and prioritize more.
