Global Issues Paper & Nervous Conditions

Global Issues Paper- To be honest, this weekend I haven't spent time on editing my paper. I am very grateful for my extended deadline because of my parental-excused visit to Washington, DC. It has been very hard to find time squeezing homework in, but I plan to work on it on the plane and on Sunday. This week as a whole, I would say that I spend an hour on my research paper, maybe a little more. I'm still unsure of whether I am doing the right thing, so I am planning to come to Dr. DeGravelles during my breaks/ tutorials next week.

Nervous Conditions- I actually enjoy this book. The cover did not look very alluring, but it is not that bad. I highlight all the words that I don't understand and look them up in the dictionary of my macbook. It's very helpful because it takes only 1 second to type in the word on the search bar and it'll give you a definition! Then, I write the definition off to the side of the word, and re-read the sentence with the word. Some people in our class don't do this, and I advise that they should, because it really helped me! Also, I want to try to get ahead because I don't want to have to worry about not being able to finish. I have read a total of three hours this past week. I'm guessing that it is 45 minutes for each chapter (including annotating).
