I worked on my research paper for about 4 days and well.. In those four days I probably spent like a billion hours a day writing it. I'm pretty sure my paper is about 6 pages long without the citations. So basically that paper took over my little 'snow break' we had. I feel pretty confident in it overall but of course it's normal to have uncertainty about it. I get really nervous about how I put things into my essay. For example quoting and things like that. Even though I most likely didn't, I feel as if somehow somewhere I'd be using some words of someone else that I never even saw. Plagiarism scares me thats all.
I think the easy part in a way was organizing it. I thought that was going to be hard but, it came out for the best. The hardest part was giving interesting and accurate information about what my topic was all about. I didn't want each thing I said to sound similar to the last so it was fairly difficult to switch it up.
I feel like when I get my feedback it'll be about repeating info. The one thing I'm not confident about. Like I'm saying the same thing over again. Which of course I don't mean to but my mind tends to dose off so I just repeat the process of what I've already written. But, I must say overall I think my paper is getting there. I like it a lot, definitely my best one yet.
Work Times:
Reading- 30 minutes
Writing my draft- 15 hours for probably like the whole week... yup a lot

I feel the same way with the "feel as thought I'm repeating myself", that always creeps into my mind when I'm writing the paper. I had trouble with deciding where to place things in my essay as well! It was harder than just copying straight from your outline.
ReplyDeleteWow, Lexi, that's a lot of time. I'm glad you put your best into it and I look forward to working with you to get to a final draft.
