Diary 04/04

I got up at 6 am, popped some corn, and got to work. I'm still slogging away at this first draft of my DL paper. It is due today. I think I will have a reasonably good draft completed by this afternoon. I have used over 20 sources and changed the title and table of contents like eight times. The more I research the more that changes or gets added. This is the paper from heck - I'm trying to keep it clean here.

When I FINALLY submit this draft of the paper, I can go back to researching my portion of the YA collection. I have not done anything with that since Tuesday. I feel guilty but this paper has taken over my life.

Thankfully, this upcoming week is spring break. My students are gone (smile) except for one day at the end of the week when we go to the metro-parks to learn about plate tectonics. I expect to get tons done and lots of much needed rest.

I feel good just thinking about it. Okay, enough of this, I must get back to the final revisions of my draft for DL.
