Research Paper R17eflection

    I felt that this paper was difficult when we were researching and containing information. You had to be specific with yourself on whether you needed certain cites. Also one factor that played in to whether the cites were useful was if they supported your thesis or answered your research question. After you had the information to obtain those two things everything wasn't that difficult. Honestly you just had to organize and tie your information together with the right formatting and guidelines. Next time I write this paper I will know not to procrastinate and make more notecards. I hate to say this, but I think you (Dr. D) did as much as you could to help us succeed on this paper, work time, optional conferences, comments on rough draft, peer review, and we were aware of the assignment and due date way in advance.
    The comments I got from peer review and you (Dr. D) was mostly that I needed to cite my in text information. Also that I needed to clear up some of my statements that didn't display information or facts clearly.
    My paper seems to be strong in tying my information, paraphrasing, and quotes in to my text to support my thesis statement and to answer my research question. The weakest point was probably the quality of my citations. Although most of them were from databases, some were from uncredible authors and websites.
   There is nothing else to add.

Informal and formal

   Hey Lily Cat,  So I'm doing my topic for Dr. D's annotated bibliography on Apple, Microsofts, and there affects on each other. Im feeling that my research has got me a lot of good information. Most boring websites and databases all say that apple Is a greater company than Microsoft. Duh who would have guessed. I also know that they have affected each other by challenging each other to bring there company to new nights.
   For this Annotated Bibliography, English-World History project I am researching the effect that Apple and Microsoft have on each other. The information that multiple databases have given me is that Microsoft highly affected Apple early on by urging Apple to succeed with greatness above Microsoft. Apple on the other hand has passed up Microsofts great heights and downgraded Microsoft with Apples great, fresh, new products

competitions make me insane

   I am so competitive. I always have to win and if I lose I do not handle it well. Sarah Catherine says that Im so competitive that it affects my daily life and she feels intimidated by me. I just love the satisfaction that you get when you defeat someone. Every sport I have done I have been obsessed with winning and if we lost I would quit the team, or at least wanted to If my dad didn't let me.
   I even love winning little competitions. My dad and I always make bets, mostly because I am this way because of him. For example the other day we were watching TV and a commercial of Venus and Serena Williams, the tennis playing twins, came on. My Dad said that the one on the left was Serena and the one on the right was Venus, my mom and I disagreed. We were looking up picture for hours trying to prove our point. It got so intense we were yelling at each other and My dad would not except the fact that he was wrong until later that night. It was a long night.

Project Progress

    My Annotated Bibliography is coming along slowly but surely. I have 5 annotated citations and 6 citations all together. I am finding good bits of information, but there isn't much information on databases for my topic. Some information I find focus' on the stocks of Apple and Microsoft which isn't helpful information towards my topic.
   This website called seeking alpha has really been a mass of my information. Scholarly authors write these articles on all different topics and I have found multiple ones that relate to mine. I am not worried about procrastinating on this project. I am evenly distributing my assignments so I have enough time to complete each one correctly and thoroughly.
