What do I have to do today to make a happy result in May?
New Media:
I have obtained a copy of Bradford's Of Plymouth Plantation. Obviously, I have to read it. What is Bradford's style? What does he think is important? He uses Scripture a great deal, to apply current events to what he thinks of God's purpose. What verses will he use to deal with what I have planned for him?
MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA..............
(Ahem)
I want to see how the practical pilgrims deal with these new situations for which they could not be prepared. I should also read Bradstreet's poem on that infernal experience she had.
Concerning the time left, I needed a straightforward work, and fewer voices. I looked at Middlemarch, but that is far too complex.
I must read Bradford every day, and write Bradford every day. He knows how to draw his readers into the story. I want the same.
NONFICTION:
I must write the research as I wait for the April 25 event. I should know what is done at the centre before I get there. I also need to reassemble the recorder. I need to make sure all my questions are planned out so as not to waste time.
I need to look at the class notes, to view the successful formats of reportage and follow those.
I need to see tangible progress. How?
I need to see pages I have created, and printouts of these.
I will demand of myself 1,000 words every day, for each project.
I also need to reread the material for the final in the Roh course.
Other bloggers have loving, supporting familes. I have none. I am the one who must pull this off.
Of course, there is the ultimate project: Impeach Obama!

Hello - how are you? My name is Kristen Davis. We had a class together about 4 years ago...Texts and Technologies, and English class at ODU for MA. I did the professional writing path and I see that you were doing the literature one. I'm just now truly attempting to do my orals and finish my degree - 4 years after finishing all of my courses :( I was going through my texts and tech. notes - in fact I am missing so many notes that I am scrapping for anything I can find about that class, and came across my old blog. You responded to something on it. I wanted to ask how your oral went! I am so super nervous, as I have been for years. Especially considering I am missing a lot of notes from my courses - a lot. I hadn't thought about this before, but out of curiosity, are you still in the area, and do you have any notes from that class still? If I could somehow get in touch with you that would be life saving! I have two email addresses: misskris4eva@hotmail.com, and kristen.n.davis@gmail.com Thank you so much! Hopefully you still get messages about this blog :) Take care!
Thanks again!
