Paper Reflection

I am very happy with my final paper for this project, even though it was a very advanced paper to write. This paper was an extremely enjoyable experience, but as a whole also had a few things that I wish I would have done differently. When I first started my project, I and I'm sure many of my peers thought that they had a good topic that they would find many helpful links that would inform them even more about their topic. I never thought that it would be difficult to find many bibliographies that would help for my paper, but was I wrong. I did have an easy time figuring out what my topic would be, but a hard time finding at least 10 links that would help me. I wish   that I thought of a more broad, or even bigger topic that more people knew about. Even though it was difficult to find links, it was easy to make a detailed outline of what I imagined for my paper as I went through my process. I do wish though that I had become better with time (and I still need to work on that) when going through the process, and putting it all together. 
I am told that I can scatter off topic when writing my papers, and after re-reading some of my past papers, I have realized that I do that quite a lot. I would like to improve on my staying on topic as a writer, and look for more detailed links that will help with my papers in the future. 
I would hope that I am good at my transitions and opening/endings, because I think those are the strongest aspects of me as a writer. I have more confidence now as a writer that I hope will help me in the near future.

Work Times

Last week I worked on some of my sources to help out this week when drafting. I have gone out and re-evaluated which sources are the strongest and which ones are not as helpful and informing. I also got some more of my reading of culture done too!

Monday- 20 minutes (latin culture)
Tuesday- 25 minutes (latin culture)
Wednesday- 20 minutes (re-checking sources and shape of my paper)
Thursday- 45 minutes (changing encyclopedia sources; adding some things to shape of paper to help with transitions)
Sunday- 30 minutes (checking for any new sources; sorting the look of my overall draft)
