Learning to Read...

Here is the requirement for this paper

Length: 1200-1600 words (approximately 6-8 pages, double-spaced, excluding charts, graphs, citation page, title page, etc.).

In my head I read that as 12 to 16 pages and I had been in a panic trying to figure out how to extend the paper. I am at 10 pages with 2.6 k words with a bit more to add. I wrote five without even using sources.

Time to take a hatchet and cut this down a bit, but I am suddenly a LOT less stressed about the final paper. I"m glad I went back and checked.

Less stressed about the power point thing, I found my Office install disks, at least I have the program now.

I love professors that keep us up to date on where we are in the class. The final total is 800 points, because of quizes and the research proposal (didn't get full credit) I'm down 23 points. The cut from A to A- is 761 so if I'm perfect with the rest I've nailed it, but I have 16 points to play with.

However this isn't my strongest suite so while as always I will shoot for an A, an A- is still a pretty significant accomplishment.

I can't even begin to describe the amount of stress that has just lifted off of my shoulders, the paper is almost done just need to add a few graphs and a screenshot, then polish and annotate the bibliography.

Now that Java midterm... we'll see how that goes.
