Final week......

This is our last full week in class, and im excited.
I'm sick of high school and college english right now to be honest.
This research paper has got me frustrated because its hard to go
in depth on certain aspects of the paper when their is no research
out there and its becoming very tedious. Im ready to have this
paper, and the presentation done!

The End is Near (not the end of the world however)

I am kinda excited for this week. It's like we're on the downside now, and the presentations will be a good ending. The end of the year is coming so soon, and so fast!! It's a releif to get my research paper done with, and my slides of our powerpoint are super close to being done.
As much as we dislike the project now, I feel like if I could survive this, then college is going to be a bit easier. It's like a preview of what's to come, which I like. :]

HEY!

Do we need an annotated bibliography tomorrow or just a reference sheet? or both?

Finishing My Paper.

Reading through my commented rough draft, I noticed a note from Ms. Stariha saying that I need more development of the faultiness of the sequential grade structure we use. In reading this, my soul sunk. I have been looking for the past 8 weeks for research for or against the current sequential grade structure, and I have found NONE. Upon talking to Prof. Boerema from Calvin College, he told me that I may not find research for this particular topic because it is one that is not discussed heavily. He said that we don't want to talk about it because we don't want to change it, and things of that nature. I am afraid that I will do terribly on this paper because I have no evidence supporting the faultiness of the system. It's not because I didn't try. It's not because I slacked off. It's not because I procrastinated. It's because it was not available to me.

On the Research paper.....

Are the references supposed to come first, then the graphs and survey results?

Or are the graphs and results first, then the reference page last????


Or doens't it matter?

UUUUGHHHH

OKAY so i dont about you guys but i feel releived to be finally done with this stupid Senior project. Now its only group work. Can anyone help me remeber when our group is going, i hope not wensday because i have a staff meeting soooooo..... yeah its for a job?? Also i dont know if our group got together today or not, NO ONE called me to let me know sooooo.

Senior Project

Everything is finally coming together! I got my section of the powerpoint done and today our group is meeting. What a relief. I've been working on my paper all weekend and got some great feedback last week on it. Its almost finished! I have to say getting help from Mrs. Stariha really helps a lot because I understand things a lot better after I talk to her. The test on friday also went well I thought. Here comes the points for the grade book! I cant wait to see how I have done! :)
