Anyone else who needed the "extra" day as much as I did?
Wow!!!!!! Just to unwind and direct my head to our different type of writing is more than difficult. Like making a U-turn on a crowded interstate!
Chris was terrific on Thursday afternoon, but I was always 2 steps behind and trying to remember each step to find and keep research so that I could go home and replicate was nerve-wracking.
The only positive feeling is that if I learn as much from this research essay as I did from the reflective essay, I will have made gains. My doubts, though, are strong at this point.
However, I am in love with personal essay writing and find that when doing the most mundane tasks, I am turning things over in my mind as to "how to write it as a personal essay". It has become fun!!!!!!!!
Re the essay due today: keep changing my paper and wondering which sounds "right". Voice, structure, pace, clarity......... Well, the final printing is complete and am excited to see where the ball rolls. I want to do more of this; it is not a stopping point, but wonder, with the new school year beginning all too soon, how much time I can devote to writing and anyway, who will critique it?!

I was also very overwhelmed when I left Thurs. I think that if we all stick together, we can help each other to make it.
