Week 5 Blog Post

Goals
My goals for this week were to finalize my works cited while also initiating the outline and structure of my essay. I was able to finalize most of my works cited, turning it in timely. I was able to edit some of my works cited but not all of it, causing me to not have a fully correct works cited. Once Sarah returns my Works Cited, I will immediately begin working on the edits. My goals for this week are to finish my outline and begin thinking more about the essay and possibly begin writing. On Monday, I plan on working completely on my outline because it is due on Tuesday. On Tuesday, I plan on turning in my outline and begin working on my first chapter. On Thursday, I plan on working more on my first chapter and assessing what I plan to do over the break. 
Activities
This week was mostly spent in class work periods. Usually the class begins with Sarah giving us helpful information about the assignments we are working on and then we spend the rest of the class working and talking to Sarah for additional help. I spent the work periods this week mostly formulating my outline and the ideas I want to center my paper around. 
Problems
This was a huge homework week for all my classes along with the fact that I had the ACT on Saturday, meaning I had to study the ACT extensively in addition to my schoolwork. This resulted in my revised works cited not being completely corrected and the progress of my outline being delayed. I tried my best this week and I used a long amount of today for my outline and made major progress on it. 
Reflection
This week was not as successful as others before it because of all the stress I was under but I believe that I tried my hardest and I made sure today to make up for all the work I had fallen behind on. I will set a long-term goal from now on to put the Research Paper before my other homework because of the huge impact it has on my final grades and how much work is required to make it good.
