Reflection Time!
So, I'm sure, like the rest of you, I am taking this opportunity to vent about my hatred of the Issues Paper. Unfortunately these aren't going away anytime soon. That really puts a damper on things; I know. It really sucked. I wish I would have chosen a better topic that I was more interested in so that the research wasn't so boring. I feel like that would have helped the whole process be better. Overall, I feel like the help I got was good and made my paper better. I also feel like I got to the part where I just didn't care anymore too. Do the rest of you feel like that? Anyway, I'm glad I won't have to do that again for awhile.

History Is Repeating Itself!
So for my Junior Research Project we had to do a paper very (VERY) similar to this one, and my teacher, Mr. Hoskins, gave us the perfect outline for it. Actually he gave us a very thorough packet with basically a step by step guide to the whole thing, but that 's not the point. On a side note, I'd just like to say, he was probably the best teacher I've ever had in my whole entire life. Anyway, I decided to stick with what worked because, well, it worked! So here it is:
Intro
History
Define the Problem
Show the Problem Exists
Causes
Effects
Attempts to Solve
My Solution
Conclusion
I know this is a little different from what we went over in class. Basically this is what it is in class terms:
Intro
Narration
Proof of case
Pathetic Part
(The weird word none of us can say or spell that means the counterpoints)
Argument
Conclusion
It is a little odd that my argument comes at the end, but I feel like this is an effective method, and there will certainly be arguments and reasoning all throughout the paper.
Anyway,
that's all.

Girls: Even I Don't Get 'Em
The female sex is a complicated specimen. We're crazy! Girls are INSANE! We can be so dumb sometimes, it's ridiculous. I'm not gonna lie, I can see where guys get so confused with us because we're wishy-washy and we confuse ourselves so why do we expect guys to understand us. Half the time I don't know what I'm thinking or feeling. I'm also very hypocritical, but then I call others out when they are. Adding PMS into the equation just escalates it, making it a million times worse. It's like making a sleep deprived, hungry, raving mad person concentrate on a task; it's not gonna happen. Obviously we are not entirely insane, but I feel like a major portion of our brain is dis functional and irrational. Sorry guys. I feel for ya.
That's all.
That's all.

Some More Help?
As many of you have said, this experience was not a huge help, but it definitely was an experience. I feel like I went to the wrong place though. It was the research lab in the same place we did our library instruction right? Well anyway, I had a very nice guy help me find some better sources for my paper, and, since I kind of switched my topic last minute, he helped me to narrow it down to a solid topic with a specific thesis. One thing he did show me more about was Refworks which was pretty helpful. Other than that, I feel like I would have been fine on my own. Oh well.

Thesis or no thesis, this is what you get.
Although the creation of a bucket list implies impending death, this step is necessary to create a more proactive, goal-oriented life.

I think brain farting is a chronic condition
Yes, you heard me. I think that once you have a brain fart, you never stop having brain farts. So basically what I'm trying to say is I have no idea what to write about. So far these are some of the things that I'm feeling like writing about.
1. inequality in the workplace
1. inequality in the workplace
- Why is this something that contiues to go on even when women are technically considered equal?
- How can this be changed?
- What does exposure to other cultures do for our own outlook on life?
- How can this exposure influence us to take action in humanitarian work?
- What makes the government think that they do have this right?
- At what point are they allowed to interfere?
