Weekly Blog

This week I feel like I got a lot accomplished. The exercises we have been doing in class, and the homework assignments have been really helpful. Usually, I have an issue writing my intro and conclusion, especially as fast as I had to in class. With this topic though, things were coming to me quick, and I think I have a solid intro. By the end of the paper I think I will be able to tweek my conclusion a little more and make it better. I was surprised how fast I came up with them compared to others I have written. I feel like I'm way ahead of the game, and my paper is coming along well. Hopefully I don't get off track!

I am really glad we did an outline in class. I try to do one for every paper I write, but sometimes I don't feel like dealing with it, or can't come up with anything to put on it that would help me. I got this outline mostly finished today, and I think it is really going to help me out. My sources are solid, and I have good quotes that fit in right where I need them to. I found out though that I am going to need a few more sources. While doing the outline, I came up with a few points that I could add into my paper, but I haven't researched them too much. I've learned about some of it in my psychology class, but I need the sources. So that sort of stopped me from finishing my outline. Hopefully over the weekend I can find some good sources to help add these points to my paper.

  1. There's 'always meaning to do an outline' and actually sitting down to do it. I know I don't outline as much or as well as I should, because it's easy to get swept up in the classes and not take the time. Glad it proved helpful!
