I am so frustrated with my research paper. I really don't think that I have learned a thing. It took me forever to really find something that I really wanted to focus on. When I did find something, I couldn't ever find any research information. Right now, I am currently working on trickery in love and shakespeare for my paper. I'm using several of his plays and talking about how trickery can be bad and good in relationships. Even though I found plenty of books I have yet to find a journal entry about the works of shakespeare and trickery. Right now I am just going to use what I have found.
Besides all that I really don't think that I am going to be able to write 8 pages, I really don't think its going to happen. I am going to be lucky if its 6 pages. My luck Dr. Jerz will say that it is all "fluff" as he put it in class the other day. I don't think I am going to get a good grade on this paper either. This is the first time that I have ever felt like biggest failure when it comes to my writing this year. I just want this semester to end, be over with so that I go back to work (unfortunatly at the grocery store at Weis as a cashier) to earn money a little pocket money as well as pay bills, go horseback riding again (I miss that so much, going on a trail ride would releive so much stress right now but I don't think thats going to happen), get my license, I keep saying that every summer, hopefully its going to happen this time, hopefully before my birthday.........Ok, ok, I have no lost total focus of working on my research paper. I had gone to a friends room a little while ago to watch anime, for a break and now I'm blogging, oh well. Even though I might have to stay up all night, but I am bound and determined to get all of my work done on time. Ok, I'm trudging off to do my research paper now, at least I'm half way there.

Just be sure to keep the plot summary to a minimum -- you can assume that I've read all the Shakespeare works you cite, and that I know who the characters are. (If I don't I can always pull my Shakespeare down from my shelf.) Good luck!

Hopefully you finished your research paper, I also changed my research topic last week so I had to redo some of my research. I actually just got 5.5 pages for my research paper. I hope that was enough, I could probably have stretched it but I'm not very good at it, so I'm hoping that the grade I received from it doesn't pull me down. One more day! ;)
