This week I focused on writing a draft of my first essay. I've written about 3 pages, and I think I now have down most of what I want to get across. The problem is that, so far, my writing is pretty disjointed and the thrust of the essay isn't entirely clear. I have two long cross-country flights Fri. and Sun., so I want to work this weekend on finishing and editing the essay to make its progression more logical.

TO-DO
Finish first draft of essay on women in the middle east -Tues
Start drafting 2nd essay (move forward on urban landscape idea?)-Tues or earlier if time allows
