My main goal moving foreward is maintaining enough inertia to finish this project. I feel like I'm sooo close, and yet my pace has been sort of slow. My essay is now 20 pages long, 2/3 of which Ms. Clark looked over on Fri. and gave me comments on, so I guess I could call this draft 2...maybe 1.5? I'm just a few paragraphs away from being finished, and I'm hoping we can discuss edits early next week. Hopefully, a final draft will be pretty quick in coming. I also need to write a brief introduction to complete my project; just a page or two about what I did and my overarching theme. Meanwhile, no word from Sally Booth yet; I'm hoping she managed to bring what I sent with her and will get back to me soon.

We're so close to break (and finding out about colleges on tuesday) I can barely stand it. In the interim, I know I just need to focus.
