Green Skies

I'm about to go to bed, but  decided to mark the blog before I rest my head.

The title is in reference to an example my social science professor used when describing what it is scientist do and how they go about doing it. I won't go into that. I just thought it made for a nice blog post title. 

Also mentioned in my SS class is the fact that we, the students, are going to be discussing controversial topics such as politics, social class, education, and religion, to name a few. When I heard that religion was among the lists of topics up for discussion, I immediately knew I was going to have to defend my position as a Christian. 

Time to hit the Bible. :-)

Enjoy your day and remember we can do all things through Christ which strengthens us.  

Papers And Procrastination

Via 

I've been MIA for the past two weeks working on a research paper for class. 
I started the research the same week the class was told of the assignment 
(about a month ago). 

I wasn't having a very much success finding relevant information, so I just decided to leave it for a bit and focus on current assignments. 

A month later, just a few days before the paper was due, I'm fumbling all over the place still trying to find sources...
Long story short: I ended up completing the paper the day it was due
Moral of the story: don't procrastinate in doing papers


:)

Thank God It's Over!

I am finished with my paper!!!

This was my first eight-pager paper and I completed it, and handed it in on time. And you know what else...there's no way I could have done it with God! Honestly!

I felt really frustrated and overwhelmed at times, because I had other assignment besides the paper that was due at the same time or before!
I'm happy to have it now a part of my past. And I know how to handle big papers.

What can't our God do? He's beyond amazing!

-God Bless!

Be My Hands, Eyes and Brain!

I have my first 8-12 page paper to write! The most I've ever written was 6 pages, at most!

I've known about this paper at the beginning of the semester, but kept telling myself that "I have time" or "I'll start next week", but now The paper is due Wednesday, December 1st and I'm mostly still in the research phase! AHHHHHH!!

I keep procrastinating( ahem...blogging at this moment) to keep myself from having a meltdown!
And I still have a lot of planning to do, because this is a big paper and like all papers, you need a thesis to let the reader know which direction you're headed with the paper. So, I still have to narrow down the broad topic of 'Fredrick Douglass' into a part in his life that I can focus on!

I had to say a quick prayer asking God to be my hands, eyes and brain to help me get through this paper. I know once I get started it will seem easier, but for me, getting started on a paper is always the hardest part!
So If you don't see any blog updates until after Dec. 1st, you know why!!

God Bless!
