timeline

i now have a good idea of when each of my papers will be due this semester. my timeline for completing my thesis thus aims to take advantage of the downtime between these other papers.

sept. 27--meeting w/ Harriette. will have an outline of my paper with all relevant sections identified and logically organized.
first week in october--compile master list of all sources found to date, begin writing individual sections of paper by plugging sources into relevant areas
second week in october--communicate w/ faculty & professional organizations, gather statements of disciplinary perspective (most time spent writing philosophy paper due oct. 17)
third week in october--give progress report to class, identify sections of paper where more research/support is needed (most time spent writing research paper on yeshivas for judaism class, due next week)
fourth week in october--finish basic draft of thesis
fifth week in october--evaluate draft, begin planning presentation, plan for november

november--additional research/writing/reorganization as needed...major paper for philosophy class due at end of november, same time as thesis...deal with it

i think this should be enough to go on, at least for now. as you can see, october is going to suck for me, but i think i've set realistic goals here. let's hope this keeps me on track.

Okay,

I made the last comment before I saw this.

Do your best to stay with this time line. Also remember that finished is more important than complete at this point.

Hey- did you know that Marilyn Monroe was supposed killed because she was going to come out to the public about UFO's and Alien things. A delightful conspriacy theory. Perhaps you told me about this. Anyways, check it out-its alongside the JFK UFO conspiracy also)
