Reading Details / Nyasha

     So first, let me express my condolences for the passing of Nhamo. Although... he was a jerk,so... Anyway, I was excited to hear from Tambu all of her 'wonderful' experiences she had back the old homestead. She really caught a break from that Dorris lady. I was unsure of Tambu moving here at first, but we quickly warmed to each other. Still, I can't help but feel that her opinion of me might be a little 'iffy.' Oh well. It's not like that really affects me or anything. Also, my parents need to lay of with the rules. I've had it up to here (holds hand up) with them and their stupid rules. I need to be my own person. Can't they at least give me that, their own daughter?

Evaluation: C Layer 1

     The assignments I did were simply annotations and reading guides for Ch. 1-5. I figured they would be the most straightforward things to choose, and would therefore provide me with the most information about the book. That seems to be the case. Even though they are the more traditional assignments to go with reading projects, they are also the ones that help me the most, in terms of understanding the content of the book.
   If I were to change things about the process I went through, I'm going to change how I get the work done. For Layer 1 I sort of waited until the last minute to get the work done, and that didn't work out so well for me. So, I'm going to spread things out this time around. That way, I'll be able to manage both my time and workload more efficiently.

Reflection

     What I found most difficult about the writing process was the fact that it was farther back in time than, I guess, most other topics, so the information was harder to grasp. Yet, the storage of all the info in detailed works of writing made it a lot easier to understand something from so long ago.
     The feedback I got from people was mostly just formatting advice, or tips about how to word something a little differently. I'm confident that whether I took the advice or not, I did what was best for my paper as a whole.
     I would say the strongest thing about my paper is the content itself, but the presentation could have used a bit more work... maybe. I'm still not entirely sure.

Research

So far, I've pretty much gotten a feel for my topic. I've completed my sources and now know more about it. I feel like I'm in a good place. I could use more notecards, though.
So far, I have accomplished compiling my bibliography and have researched varying amounts of the different sources. Now feels like an appropriate time to begin an outline, along with creating some notecards on NoodleTools.
