So far, my research has been going great... For last week. I feel a little overwhelmed if I'm going to be honest. To my rescue though, was a book I found in the library. I was very lucky. The idea came from Wendy. She had gotten an Art book and I thought that maybe I should get a book as well. I found four different books, and one of them I have used greatly. I did find a few articles online for my benefit, but online, I found it was harder to look for just the right article. I don't think I'm ready to write a paper yet. I don't have everything I need for it, and I don't know how I can put together a paper with what I have yet. I wonder when the first draft is due... I am still working on finding research, and I still need to paraphrase a few of my sources.
This paper is definitely taking it's toll on me. I haven't had too much stress on it, but I feel like it will eventually. This is my first research paper and one thing I learned is to think about a topic I like. Not just a topic I think would work and go on my way and do it. I need to next time pick a better topic. Also, I realized that the internet is all that glamorous. I know that the people who are reading this are thinking, 'Wow she's stupid!' 'Of course it's not glamorous.' 'Did she not know that?!' etc. I just want to say that I did know that, but this project has officially proved it to me. Books are my preference source for this project, and maybe many projects to come.
Morgan, I know how you feel about the paper. I haven't got all the information I needed yet and I feel if I write it now it won't be my best
ReplyDeleteYou're probably right about how the project will probably become stressful. I do agree with you about how you should always pick a topic you like and find interesting. It makes the whole process much more enjoyable. At least now you know!
