Long Week

It's been a long week this week and next week, with Thanksgiving, looks like its going to be a lot longer. Didn't get much composition done this week. I added a tentative ending to the piano quartet but I'm now wondering if perhaps I should add a 4th movement - choices, choices, choices. Have a presentation to make for Comp 121 either today or Monday. I think I'm going to shoot for Monday, so that I can polish my paper up and strengthen my outline for the topic. I wonder if I can find someone to come in dressed like an Alien?

Brief Break from Composition

Usually, I like to compose during the weekend. This weekend, however, I am working on a persuasive research paper for my English Composition 121 course. My topic: UFOs. I originally was going to develop an argument that faith based initiatives should not be funded by the federal government. In the course of my research on that topic, I discovered that the organizations who receive funding are not publicly disclosed. So, I approached my teacher and expressed my issues in carrying out the research. She asked what other topics I think I should do and I jokingly said UFOs. Of course, being the wonderful teacher she is, she said do it. And here I am!!
