This week we all received our Research papers (giants) back. To be honest, I was frightened when I saw the pencil grade in the corner of the paper. However, it just proves that I have a lot of room for improvement. I thoroughly enjoy my research topic and I would like to go visit a college library soon. Ms. Autenzio was giving us tips about research and she strongly encouraged a visit to the college library. I need to get on that (and everything else). It blows my mind that nothing ever stops. Every single minute of every single day I can be doing something, and if I'm not doing anything productive I feel horrible and can't thoroughly enjoy myself. My solution: Keep pressing on until you can't press on anymore.
Even though it does not seem pleasant now...I know this whole pile-everything-in-one-week strategy will help me become a stronger individual as I learn how to respond correctly to overwhelming situations. I understand it's beneficial...but it is not a fun process.
In order to revise my research paper, I plan to take 2 or 3 hours every weekend to work on it. I could say 2/3 pages revised...but we'll have to see about that later. I have some statistics I have to find and terms I have to define. I look forward to the end product of this experience...it's just going to be grueling getting there!
By the way: my title is a reference to the musical Into The Woods. :)
Dearest Nicole, I understand your theory entirely, too often it seems like all we're doing is work, work, work. We do however push through it and keep moving forward even though sometimes it drives us stark raving mad! PS: I love Ms. Autenzio, every piece of advice she gives us is totally useful, and I love how much she puts forth that she wants to help us. :) I also love YOU!
