Today I submitted my paper to Margaret.  It is not perfect.  But it definitely shows a lot of work.  I was also able to check it against TurnItIn.  I believe I got the score down to about 25% but I need to submit. She now has it.  My next order is business besides getting her feedback is to continue to work on the paper so that I can get my score even lower.  I need to have that done before I work on chapter 3.

Tonight I converted the paper to word and submitted to TurnItIn.  I should have a report in the am.  My first order of business will be to check the report by reading my Pepperdine mail.

I was able to work on my paper today for a couple of hours.  With regard to my last session which had the outstanding items:

• Finish through to page 76
• Flesh out and firm order based on outline, new sections, condense, what.
• Check against outline
• Run against TurnItIn
• Read for typos, edit
• submit

I was able to complete the review.  I made it all the way to the end. (page 76)

All of my citations are there

The outline looks good

What I need to do in the next session and I may do this tonight.

I need to write a summary of the chapter

and I need to submit to TurnItIn 

That is it.  Then I can submit.  I am thinking about submitting what I have but continue working.  I should be able to write the summary in a hour.  TurnItIn should not take long I just need to submit it and then make the corrections.  The problem is figuring out how to do it.

today I wrote for several hours.  I was able to get to page 70 of 76.  There are a few citations that need to be verified and that should not take long at all.  Here are my remaining pieces of work before I submit:

• Finish through to page 76
• Flesh out and firm order based on outline, new sections, condense, what.
• Check against outline
• Run against TurnItIn
• Read for typos, edit
• submit

I probably will not be able to work on my paper again until Sunday but much should get done in that session.

I was able to work on my paper today for about 4 hours.  Whew!  After the weekend of traveling to Austin so that my children could attend a party.  I had plans to write while there, but that did not workout.  It does not stop me though.  So, I could not write until today.  So, I did.  I was able to get up to page 62 of 76.  I am very excited about that.  I am in the stretch run in terms of what I am going to send to Margaret.  I need to find a few citations and I will do that tonight or before I start to write on Tuesday.  I should get to page 76 in my next session.  That will wrap up the final work of editing the content.  What is left is I will need to read it for flow, grammar, etc, which I should be able to do in a day or so.  The other thing that has to be done is that I need to run it through turnItN.  If that comes back I will submit, if not I will make those corrections, run it through again and then submit.  I hope I can get through the paper part in the early part of the day on Tuesday.  If so, I may start the reading and editing on Tuesday.  Then I can run through TurnItIn on Wednesday and submit on Wednesday night. The sooner the better.

I spoke to Margaret today regarding my chapter 3.  I must get chapter 2 to her this week.  And I will.  But I also really need to get my design down for my chapter 3.  I am going to look at connecting with a couple of universities in the Houston area as well as San Antonio to see if I can get a list.  This will be good.

took a step back.
rewrote up to page 52 of 77

Thursday's goal is to get to page 70

Chapter 2 is submitted on Sunday, no matter what

Made to page 50
Still need to work on the Riel piece

I spent a few hours on the paper today.  I will get an earlier start on Tuesday.  Today I was able to:

1.  Correct the Warschauer
2.  Advance to page 50

For next time I need to:
1.  Check the Riel piece
2.  Locate the source for Kleiner & Farris and (Fairlie, 2002;Puma, Chapin, & Pape, 2003; Solomon, 2002;Wilhem, Carmen, & Reynolds, 2002). and several other sources.  I will look the papers tonight
3.  Keep pushing toward page 50 and even 60.

Today I made it through to page 41.  By Friday, I WILL get all the way through, read again for flow and transition, send to TurnItIn and by the end of Friday night Margaret gets it.  Sunday I WILL start chapter 3.
