Goals:
My goals this week was to completely finish the research paper. By finishing my research paper, that meant that I needed to finish editing my paper as well as make sure it fits and follows the rules and guidelines in the research paper rubric. My goals for this week was completed and my goals for this week now is to relax and finish all my other homework off. My goals for this week:
Monday:
Turn in Research Paper by 8:00 am
Tuesday-Friday:
Do other homework & feel happy about finishing the research paper
Activities:
Last week and last weekend I spent all of my time working on perfecting my research paper. As by Friday, I had only done and finished my rough draft for my research paper and did not even have my conclusion and introduction done. I did not even start editing my paper until Saturday night, but it was a tedious process. I was lucky to have all of Sunday and half of Saturday to finish writing my conclusion and introduction as well as then correct the rest of my paper.
Problems:
I faced a lot of problems with editing for my paper. By the time I had completely finished my paper without editing, I had a total of 17 pages not including my works cited. But the rubric stated that I was only allowed to have 14 pages maximum or else I would have some points deducted from my research paper grade. So all of Sunday morning I spent editing my paper completely. By around Sunday afternoon I had 15 pages, but I still needed to have my paper down to 14 pages. So I had help from my tutor that afternoon to help me cut my paper as well as fix my organization and flow of ideas as well as fix the major grammatical errors I had. At around 8 pm on Sunday night my tutor and I were able to narrow it down to having it be 14 pages and 7 lines on the 15th page. This still was not enough, but we soon realized if we take out my transition paragraph before my conclusion I would fit the maximum page length, but unfortunately I was required to have the transition paragraph. Even though I personally thought that by having the transition paragraph before my conclusion made my paper seem a bit redundant and only made my paper a lot longer when I needed to have a shorter paper. At around 10 pm I was able to finally make it so that I had only 2 lines on the 15th page after trying to find redundant sentences. After one hour of sifting for one last sentence that was not needed or redundant I was able to finally get it at the page length I wanted. In general, my biggest problem with the editing process was getting it to be just perfect as well as fit the criteria for having a maximum of 14 pages. Overall, the research paper process was tedious at times and frustrating. But I did face many problems such as researching, when I was not able to find enough articles on my author on my theme or a theme that I liked. I also had some problems with finding time to write my essay while having other homework to finish as well as coming home late from lacrosse practices every night. Also I had some trouble finding a perfect outline or topic that full explains what I want to say but in the end after much help from my teacher and tutor I was finally able to finish my research paper that showcases what I want to say and show about my two books.
Reflection:
The research paper process/experience was quite tedious at times and quite rejuvenating at other times. Mainly, my process depended on the day or on how well I felt that I was getting things done. In the beginning I felt that my research paper process was off to a slow start but I knew what I wanted to do. But when it came time to researching, I felt that I was lost and confused on trying to find quotes that fit the theme I wanted to talk about. As my main themes for my three chapters were sort of similar together, it made it harder to find quotes that distinguished themselves from each other or find which ones would belong in each chapter. After turning in my outline, I felt sort of worried about writing my paper because I did not feel confident or have a clear sense of what direction my paper would take. I also felt that I was not completely understanding what my true themes and topics were. But when I started to write, I felt that I sort of had a somewhat clear mindset of what I wanted to write but it was still difficult to see because some of my paragraphs did not follow my topic sentences or chapter themes so I had to change them when writing my paragraphs. I also found that I did not have enough time to write or finish writing my paragraphs because I honestly did not feel concentrated or comfortable with writing in class. In general, I usually cannot write with other people around me so I had to rely on my weekends to have the time to write my paragraphs. Also, when it was the weekend to write my paragraphs for my rough draft, I found it hard to piece my ideas together with the short amount of time I had. But at the time it was either turn in what you have or get a zero and procrastinate more by trying to find better ideas on how to write my research paper. After that weekend past, I had to now deal with editing a 14 page paper without my intro and conclusion that made no sense to me. But after a week and weekend of meeting with my teacher and tutor I was able to finish writing my intro and conclusion and see what my true themes are that made sense to me. I also was able to find out how to edit it so that my teacher can see what my true topic of my paper is. Therefore, this process was a long and tedious and challenging process to me. But in the end I was able to persist with the help from my tutor and teacher and see what my paper theme would be and how to edit it so that it is easily readable and would get be a grade that shows my hard work. In general, I am glad that the research paper is now over and that I have completed the hardest project for English for my Junior year. All I have to do now is look forward to next year's research paper, but that is not for awhile, so I don't have to panic now. I can now just relax and enjoy the time I have now. But most importantly, I AM OFFICIALLY DONE WITH THE RESEARCH PAPER!!! (Well, until I get my grade back...and that is another story...)
Until next year's research paper,
Zain

Week Nine
Goals:
My goals of this week were to finish my rough draft for my research paper, excluding the introduction and conclusion. I also had in mind, to finish a paragraph each night as well so that I could finish my rough draft for my research paper. Next week, I hope to finish my research paper completely, and start editing my paper in the middle of next week. The schedule for this week looks like:
Sunday:
Finish writing my Chapter 1 and Chapter 3 paragraphs as well as transition paragraphs.
Monday:
Finish writing my Introduction and Conclusion paragraphs
Tuesday:
Finish writing my Introduction and Conclusion paragraphs
Wednesday:
Use my teacher's corrections from Chapter Two to correct my other Chapters' paragraphs
Thursday:
Meet with Sarah to fix prominent errors as well as big errors, and finish corrections that night
Friday:
Finish correcting my paper according to how I see it should be corrected and then see what Sarah or my tutor thinks
Saturday-Sunday:
Correct the whole paper according to what Sarah and my tutor think and do a last minute correction the night before
Activities:
This week was a very tiresome and busy week for myself as well as a stressful week. I had a lot on my mind and was stressed out because I had to write 5 paragraphs and transition paragraphs without my tutor there to help me. So I tried to do as much as I could but that did not work out so I was able to receive an extension but this meant that because I was going to be away for a Lacrosse game from Friday-Saturday, I would only have time to work on my paper on Sunday. I am currently trying to fit in time to work on my paper, as it seems to be working as I am at the point of trying to complete this assignment rather than trying to do it beautifully for right now. But, this week I was able to finish understanding what I am sort of writing about and re-visit some example research papers that did well on their structure and grammar to help me write my paper.
Problems:
I have had a lot of problems this week. Mainly dealing with time management as I have been coming home every day at 8:00 from practice and then staying up till 1:00 to study for tests and quizzes this week and doing other homework as well as try and find time to finish my essay when last weekend I had no time. As my tutor last weekend, did not show up to help me work on my research paper and understand what my teacher meant in her correction comments in my rough draft half last week. So I asked for an extension on Thursday and luckily my teacher understood my dilemma, but because I was going to be gone Friday-Saturday and then four hours of Sunday I would only have so much time to get my sleep, do my other homework, and finish my rough draft of my research paper. Also, that Saturday I had planned on meeting with my tutor to go over my teacher's comments and how to properly structure my paragraphs, unfortunately he did not show up as he is still in the hospital. But he promised me that if I can send it in sometime during the week he can look at it and we can look over it next weekend as well.
Reflection:
Overall, this week has been by far my worst week for my research paper mainly because I was not able to finish my research paper in the allotted time I was given and I am just beyond stressed with this project. I wish I had allotted time that was in chunks to work on my research paper rather than cramming in my work like I am doing today. But right now I am just focusing on just getting this writing for my paper done so that I can have all of next week and next weekend to edit as much as I can for this project and give it my all next week instead of mope about it like I did last Friday and Thursday. I felt my only goal I achieved this week was that I finished my outline and my Chapter 2 paragraphs that understand a more on what I am doing wrong and as well as what I am doing correctly. But for right now, I just need to focus on getting over the biggest hurdle in this research paper process and that is writing the research paper and then correcting all my mistakes rather than getting upset over them when I am writing my paper.

Week Eight
Goals:
My goals for this week consisted of trying to finish up writing one of my chapters and starting my second chapter. I also planned on having my first chapter comments from my teacher done and edited by myself. But unfortunately, this week I was only able to finish writing my second chapter as my first chapter in the nick of time, but had not time to correct that chapter according to my teachers comments. But I am hoping with this week's schedule, I can successfully finish my three chapters and transition paragraphs. So my week for this week will show as:
Sunday:
Find two more suitable quotes for my first chapter and start and finish writing my first chapter.
Monday:
Start and finish writing my third chapter.
Tuesday:
Write my three transition paragraphs and edit my paper.
Wednesday:
During free block try to edit my paper.
Thursday:
In the morning, try to edit my paper and possibly start writing my introduction and conclusion paragraphs.
Friday:
I have no time because I have to go to a lacrosse game in Spokane, so I have an early dismissal at noon and the morning with not work out with writing or editing anything.
Activities:
This week was one hectic week and I am so glad to have written and finished my first chapter. As all throughout the weekend this week and Monday and Tuesday, I was worried about getting my chapter finished in time. I did not really feel as if making it perfect as possible was an option because lacrosse was starting up and teachers were slamming us with more work than usual because the quarter is coming to an end and we only have one more month till project week. Well, technically a couple weeks but despite the number of weeks till project week we are still being slammed with homework, especially SATs. But I hope for this next week to really hone on finishing my research paper and then leaving enough time to just go over my paper for editing. I am really worried about the editing portion of this assignment as that is something that I have trouble doing by myself and I need help with. So I hope from this project, that once I finish my paper by this next week I will have A LOT of time to learn how to edit my paper thoroughly and properly. Plus, I have gotten the research process of this paper done so I am more than half way done with this project which is something I quite glad about.
Problems:
This week has been quite a rocky and busy week for myself. As this week was the beginning of my lacrosse season so we had very late practices with lots of running. And then when I would come home I would not usually have the energy to sit down and finish my homework. But I made that decision so I accept full responsibility but I did not realize how much work goes into playing a sport at Overlake and the homework load I would have is greater than last year. But I was able to successfully get over the obstacle of finishing my second chapter in time and in the right page length despite the copious amounts of errors in my rough draft. But this shows that I need to find another approach to writing my next two chapters and also allows me to see how I can improve for my other two chapters. Unfortunately, I was approached with a problem Friday night after practice as I was sent to the E.R. because I could not bend my knee from lacrosse practice. This was a problem because I planned on starting and finishing one or two paragraphs for my research paper that night and studying a bit for my SAT test for Saturday. But because I could not bend my knee and my parents thought I might have torn a ligament in my knee we had to rush to the hospital to see what really happened to my knee. Thankfully, I just have tissue damage in my knee and it will take a week or so to heal but that did prove as a problem for wanting to start and finish some of my research paper paragraphs and not saving it for the last minute.
Reflection:
This week was considered to be one of my busiest weeks for the research paper. But it has not been a busy week because of the research paper, it is just busy because of the other homework I have had and also because spring sports has started and other activities have come into my life while I am trying to find time to finish writing a perfect research paper. Also this week served as an example of not waiting till the night before to write my second chapter rough draft. That night was one of my most stressful nights because over the weekend I was all frazzled with the SAT and I spent all of Friday, Saturday and half of Sunday studying for my SAT test. That by Sunday, I forgot that I had to write a chapter for Tuesday and on top of that I had Lacrosse starting on Monday which I forgot does not end till 6:30. As I usually get home at 7:00 because I live 30-45 minutes away from school, depending on traffic. But overall, this week I learned my lesson for not writing my chapter the night before. Which is why this week I have instilled the goal of trying to complete my other two chapters by Tuesday at the latest. As I have all of Sunday, Monday night and morning, and Tuesday night and morning to finish writing my paper. Then that leaves me Wednesday-Friday morning to edit as much as I can of my rough draft. But overall, I am glad to have faced these timing challenges this week and lack of time because this is helping me learn how to allot time to writing for my research paper and for studying for my SAT.

Week Seven
Goals:
My research paper goal for this week was to finish correcting my final detailed outline mistakes as well as start writing my rough draft for my first chapter. I was able to correct my final detailed outline to the best of my abilities as well as with Sarah's comments, but starting the writing process has been quite a task because of the homework load and the time in class has been mainly spent on working on my outline. This means, unfortunately, I will have to cram in the writing for my rough draft of my final chapter for today since I do not have anytime on Monday. So my goals for this week will look a little better after Tuesday as I will have more time to work on my rough draft but for now it looks a little hectic. This week's schedule:
Today:
Start and finish writing Chapter 1 of my research paper. If I do not have time then finish the rest Monday morning.
Monday:
Finish my research paper Monday morning (before going to school).
Tuesday:
Tuesday morning polish up Chapter 1 research paper.
Wednesday:
During class, start writing my Chapter 2 paragraphs and try and get as much as I can done in class.
Thursday:
During class, start writing my Chapter 2 paragraphs and try and get as much as I can done in class.
Friday:
During class, start writing my Chapter 2 paragraphs and try and get as much as I can done in class.
Saturday-Sunday:
Finish writing Chapter 2 and start and finish Chapter 3 for my research paper.
Activities:
My goal for this week was to be able to start writing my rough draft for my research paper, but unfortunately I was insanely busy this week with SAT and homework from other classes that I only had time to correct my outline to make it as perfect as I wanted it to be. This meant that I only was able to accomplish half of my goals for this week, and now will leave me to cram in for my research paper. But I am happy with the time I have had to correct my outline as I now see which direction my paper will go towards and what I will mainly write about.
Problems:
I had a lot of problems this week, and it is again related to timing with writing. I feel that in class I spent a lot of time correcting my outline, which was fine as I now know what I will be writing about and now see a clearer mindset. But unfortunately, there is not enough time to write or start writing my research paper. I have been so busy these past couple of days, which is mainly from lacrosse and other classes and SAT, that I have not had time to start writing my paper. Also, I did not realize that we originally had our rough drafts due Wednesday, but now they are due Tuesday. As I much preferred to have it be due Wednesday so I can have more time to write instead of cramming for my paper. But this week, I will try to avoid this problem by starting my second chapter in class and then finishing my third chapter over the weekend.
Reflection:
This week has been a hectic week with coming back from a homework free mid-winter break to a now homework slammed week for myself. I had hoped originally last week to be able to receive my outline and start correcting it over break or to even have the time to start writing my research paper. But time this week did not allow me to do so. This means that today I literally only have four-five hours to write my research paper because I am so busy this weekend and last week was not an option. In class I only had time to correct my outline, and starting the research paper in class when I had not finished my outline was not an option either. Also, I had thought that we had our research paper outlines due Wednesday, but I am still confused why it was moved to Tuesday, as that would have worked better for me. But all I can do now is focus on writing my first chapter of my research paper to the best of my abilities with the time I have. But on the bright side, I have finished the whole research process and all I have to do now is construct my paper which is a nice feeling to have. That also means that I do not have to worry about finding any more sources or quotes and such because they are all there, all I need to do is write the paper that shows all of my hard work. Which I plan on next weekend sitting down and writing my whole paper as I will have more time that weekend. Except for the fact that on Saturday I have my SAT test which has also been another reason why I have not had the time to do a lot of my other pieces of homework as well as had the time to write my research paper at home. But after my SAT test I believe that writing this paper will be just fine and something I can achieve with diligence and persistence, as I have had many other obstacles that have come in my way during the research process and I know how to deal with them. This hurtle is just like the other hurtles and I just have to get past them and do my best, and that is what I will do for writing my research paper.
