YOU DA REAL MVP SARAH

GOALS:

My goals for this week are to finish editing the first chapter draft that we recieved back in class today.  Reading over it, I noticed some sloppy mistakes made while writing (or rather, not writing) commentary and discussion within the paper, which should be easy to fix.  I am also working on the goal of figuring out what to cut out of my paper to make my point in a more concise manner.  This is because right now I have twelve pages if you add both drafts, including works cited.

ACTIVITIES:

This week I finished my chapter two draft early and edited it in class.  Today we got back our chapter one drafts so I spent the class period correcting all mistakes I have made as well as altering some word choices and claims to fit my argument in a more coherent way.

PROBLEMS:

I am worried about my paper's length, because I also have to write an introduction and conclusion paragraph as well as a transition paragraph to connect both chapters.  I am less worried about this because I would rather be cutting than adding, but I really like all parts of my paper and the arguments I have made, and I hate the idea of cutting out my hard work :(

REFLECTIONS:

The research paper is still not the most stressful thing on my plate, which I am thankful for.  Shoutout to Sarah for editing so many papers in so little time.  You da real MVP
