OK. As I was just saying, tomorrow is my Composition Theory class. For tomorrow's class, I have to have completed my rough draft of my paper completed. The paper has to be 10 pages typed and double-spaced. I've got about four of those pages done. Plus, the inclusion of the cover, table of contents, works cited, and appendices.
Because I think and write segmented, I figured my best bet would be to write my paper segmented. And, as I thought, the paper is working out that way. I've been be-bopping around my paper, typing stuff where it belongs in the order.
Here's my fears. I've had this professor before. This is my professor from my Technical Writing class. Yep, if you're remembering, I had to do a segmented research paper there as well. So, my professor knows how well I can research and how well I can write. Because this paper deals with some topics that I'm not completely familar with, I feel that when she reads the paper, she might become disappointed. That disappointment will be because she knows how well I write and I don't think this paper will be as good. Yes, I understand each paper has its own differences, but I have a reputation to uphold.
But, also as I said, I've been sick since Thursday. Yesterday and today have been the worst of the days, the flu or at least a sinus infection. But, I feel like I'm getting better today.
As it stands, I've still got about 6 pages left to write for this paper.
Oh, wonder what I'm writing about? My question is: How do I teach writing to children with learning disabilities?
It's very close to my heart as my child has a learning disability. This LD gives her trouble in every aspect of her school life. As she grows older and goes into the higher grades, that trouble will continue. I want to be able to stay current with the teachers to be able to help her at home. I figured it was a good topic to write my research paper about.
And, my other classes? Grant class - 2 points less than acing the class, Grammar analysis - 94% on all tests.
Ok. Gonna go. I've got to start working on dinner as Rob will be going to work tonight at his part-time job.
Lots of love,
Cathy

Okay Cathy, I'll say it - get over it. Some papers are better than others. You're not there to win her approval, you are there to pass the class. Besides that, you'll do just fine.

I hope everything turned out well with the paper!! And the one thing I keep saying we need to keep in mind with Cassi is getting her a tutor like from Sylvan, it might help her A LOT!!
