I have just finished my Senior Paper. I worked on it for a long time after completing the rough draft. I mad a few corrections here and there to the paper itself and the works cited page. The works cited page needed the most corrections but now I am relieved to be done. I think I did very well on it and am proud of what I have done.

Last week we started our rough drafts. At first it was hard to get started because I wasn't really sure what I was doing, however after the first day I started to get into the hang of things and now I am making great progress. I have already competed over a page so I feel confident that I have enough information to get the 8-10 page goal.
Today I finished my 40th note card. I had to stay up pretty late last night to get them all done but now I am relieved to have it done. But there is no time to relax unfortunately, since we start our rough drafts today. I know it will be a long process but I believe that I have done a great job taking notes and I am well prepared.
Today I finished my 20th note card. I am starting to realize that not all of the sources I picked out were filled with information. Some of my sources have given me 5-6 note cards of information while some sources have only given me 1-2. I expected this to happen though so if I need to get more sources in order to get more information I will do that. So far though, the information I have found has been quite interesting and I am learning a lot about sign language and the people that use it!Today I finished my tenth note card. We have been working on them all week in class but I wasn't able to do them all in class so I finished them today. I have a good amount of information so far and I have found a lot of information from just a few of my ten sources. I feel confident in the credibility and quality of my information and I think my paper will have a lot of good information. I have also learned quite a bit from my sources as well!This morning I finished my thesis statement for my research paper. I don't remember exactly what it was but I think it was very well written. I also completed my outline. That still needs work though. I have good ideas but as of right now I don't really have enough of them and some the ideas I already have are too broad. But for the most part it is coming along very nicely.Today I finally got all of my source cards done for my research paper. It wasn't hard to do and in the end it will definitely save me some time now that I won't have to go back and look through all my sources to be able to cite them. I feel good about all my sources and I think that they will all be very helpful to me when I write my paper!Yesterday in class we created our Weebly, where we will document our senior project throughout the year. I do have one idea but other than that I don't really know what to do. My main idea is to help a student at our school learn some sign language so that she will be able to use it at her first communion. I would have to learn some sign language which I think would be really fun and good to learn. I am thinking of going into the medical field so the ability to know some sign language would be helpful for my career in case I would need it to communicate with somebody. I think it will also be a really great experience to be able to teach and spend time with the student and get to know them better!
