I have read through the 15 pages + title page and 2 pages of references a final time. I think it’s good. THANK YOU, THANK YOU all for your support throughout! You can’t know how important it was. Now, I will take the day off, mow the lawn, and then have dinner with Dot at […]

Didn’t stop for dinner. Fought over edits for three hours; hopefully the paper is better for it. I’m done for the night. I think the paper is done but I’ll know better in the morning when I read it with fresh eyes. Then I submit it electronically before noon. I’m done with it.

Hit a very nasty low point. Anger, frustration, and then the tears. Feelings of incompetence overwhelm me. My logical brain knows I can do this; what I have so far is probably minimally sufficient but my anxiety has taken over. Back to the drawing board, literally. The Wall and the markers now guide draft 4 […]

Woke up thinking about the inadequacy of the research plan…I didn’t connect to all the learning I’ve done. DUH! That’s the point of this paper/exam. So I’ve run out of newsprint (only had one piece that I’ve now used both sides of). I had mostly been re-using my paper as I went along (print on […]
