Advice For Future Student

Advice that I have for future students writing a scientific research paper....hmmm. I think it is very important to pace yourself. Set a block of time everyday that you can work on your paper. Researching is very important. If you do not have good information to put in your paper; the paper isn't going to be very good. Also, these papers are lengthy so you want to make sure that  you have enough information.

Personally, I took an hour or two each day to sit down and work on my paper. Being so on top of it, I was able to take a couple days away from my paper and go back with a clear head. The editing and revising portion of writing is always be weak point. I never seemed satisfied with what I have written. Also, make sure you are writing down all of the source information that you are using information from. It always sucks when you have to go back and search for the infomation you want to use because you forgot and need it for your reference page! Well good luck to everyone! This term is almost over!

My feelings as of now; regarding my paper

I have very mixed emotions regarding my paper at this time. I feel anxious; I just want to finish it and get it over with. I have alot going on right now in my other classes. I also have recently started a new job in the last two weeks. Because of this, I have not been able to spend as much time on my homework as I have been able to in the past. I am actually very worried that my grades are going to suffer as a result. I want to finish this paper so I am able to finish the rest of my homework! LOL. I think once I have finished my final revisions, I will feel a sense of accomplishment and be able to sit back and enjoy my own work. Until then, the stress will be flying high and my nerves will be about shot. I think the end of finishing any project is the harderst; you want everything to be perfect. Also, I am very anxious to know my final grade. I want to know if my paper is as good as I think it is. Or whether or not I put to much time and stress into this sucker for no reason!

Will I Continue My Blog?

The questions is whether or not I will continue this blog after I am through with this term. To be honest, I am not sure as to what I plan to do. I only remember to post to  my blog because of the weekly reminder in class. Had that little tab not been there, I probably wouldn't have a weekly blog post. I do enjoy writing to my blog, but I have so much happening on a daily basis; I usually only post my initial post and that is it. Also, to be totally honest, my blogs are not very exciting in the first place; I highly doubt anyone really would enjoy reading my posts on a regular basis! HAHA...and to be honest, it doesn't offend me. I don't enjoy reading my own writings either!
