Progress on research paper..

Career research paper...

Its coming along, they call it a rough draft for a reason. Overall I think my paper is pretty decent. According to Mr. Murphy I need to "fix in text!" I don't really know what he means when he circled the source that I was quoting or using stats from. He gave me a 4% out of 5% and I think this is ridiculous. It was turned in on time and more than five pages long. There was hardly any grammar mistakes. Ohhh well, what can I do? One problem that I am having is getting my last name to appear at the top of the page in the right hand corner. My word program wont give me the option to put it there. I think if anything ill just have to type it in manually. And Ill probably end up getting another source or two. My sister as well as Mr. Murphy said that many teachers hate wikipedia. And of course that was one of my sources. Soo I guess ill check out the databases offered by the college. I think my sources are cited correctly...he didn't mark me down for that. Except that I spaced it too much.
Last Thursday we were presenting our blogs in class. Not that many people presented, only a handful. Mr. Murphy asked alot of people to present theirs but most of them didn't have one at all. That or they didn't have much and it would have been an embarrassment to present that. I was a little worried that I was not going to have alot or enough, but compared to everyone else I had the same amount or even more. So I'm not too worried about the blog anymore. I'm getting in a decent amount of hours into the lab. By the end of today I should have around a total of ten hours in. We are supposed to have around sixteen. Although I have not done any of the "all write" program exercises. But Mr. Murphy is not stressing to us about that at all so I'm not going to worry about it.
Last Thursday we also had our midterm, we had to give a summary and our opinion of an essay. It had to be two pages long, not double spaced. It took me a while to get it done but all the work that I put in will pay off for my grade. I got a good grade on a very similar assignment that we did the previous week. I was really stressing about this because I knew that it was a big day. Our midterm was that day as well as our essay was due that day. But I'm really glad that its over.
