I got this idea from Erika - I had a major paper to write, and wanted to just do it. So I figured I'd track my progress, then I started having fun doing so, and thought maybe I would post it in case anyone was interested! ( I had written the 218 words a few days ago.)
[Gryphon, this is the paper on the English conflict with Spain and the Armada I was reading about a couple weeks ago!]

2,137 words in 82 minutes = average wpm is 26 <-- this made me happy :-)
Last night at midnight I had a paper due on the 1st Amendment/Establishment Clause rights and restrictions, specifically precedent-setting Supreme Court cases dealing with neutral government programs to religious institutions. This paper is due Tuesday. I have another one due Friday, dealing with Irenaeus and heresies. Good stuff! :-) [I have no idea if y'all are interested in any of this stuff; if it's horrifically boring and/or you don't think it's appropriate blogging material, feel free to say so and ... I might write a paper about that, too! haha]
BORING!? Are you kidding!?
ReplyDeleteYou should post the entire paper! I know I would absolutely benefit from some college level goods.
While you are at it feel free to start a conversation on the English fleet and the Spanish Armada. (I know I am biased, but I am also the first poster, so let the good stuff roll)
I'm so happy that you made so much progress on your paper :) I'm sure it will turn out really well!!!
ReplyDeleteIn all seriousness, would you mind posting your papers? For those of us who have a hard time doing such things, they're a good source of HOW to do them at a college level. Thanks! :) And I think that they would be excellent blogging material!
ReplyDeleteWell ... you are assuming that my papers are a good example of college writing! But I'll post it when it's done - for now I have it drafted (as can be seen from above), but still have to cite all my statements! (As it stands now, it's a pretty piece of literary fiction or something ...) It's due tomorrow at midnight, so I guess I'll post it around then!
