wOOT!!!

I'm so excited, I finally got the rough draft for my English Comp 121 persuasive research paper completed! Now, to just let it sit for a day or two so I can approach the writing with a fresh mind and perspective. I've learned a lot from the research done on the topic! I think to celebrate, I might start work on the final movement of the piano quartet today. It's astounding to think that this work has taken almost two months to compose!

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!!
