Last Blog

My bad that last one was a false alarm. Anyway, I was wondering if you guys could just go over again some key points to think about while we are writing. For instance, is it more important that we frame questions as usual, or suggest some conclusions being the final. I know we have gone over things like this before, I just wanted to be. Anyway, somebody should bring some food I had it last time, I nominate Edward and Joel.

Last Blog

While i am still worrying over which sources to use, my main concern has switched to which topic to pick. While part 1 has helped me eliminate some choices, i am worried about which topic is the "best" one to do and i would like to discuss them in class

final post

I'm actually feeling a bit better now that I've worked through part 1. I am interested in questions that I'd rejected at first, am rejecting questions I was sure I'd want to write my essay on, etc. There are some that I passed over at first that I'm still very content passing over. :-) But I feel a lot more secure having at least been into each one of them enough to see what kind of answer I could start to construct. I think I just learned that I need more time than I thought I did to really digest a question. I'm still nervous. But that's to be expected going into an exam. Basically, it's going to be ok.
