It has been so hot outside this week, that I have had absolutely no drive whatsoever. I kept the baby every day this week, which kept me out of the hot and muggy weather. I am just amazed that week 8 is already over. Where has the time gone?? I don't even feel as if I have had a summmer....and that's not a real refreshing feeling.

The assignments were relatively light this week...I hopped on my peer reviews early Monday morning before going to work. After those were done, I settled into a week off. I know that's not a good thing, but it's too late to turn back now. Next week will definitely have to be different. I am still contemplating my rough drafts of our preface, acknowledgements, etc. Honestly, I am struggling a little with what to put in my acknowledgments section. I really didn't have any earth shaking revelations about what to do my project on....I just sat down and started thinking. I can't even remember where the idea for AAC came from, I just remember thinking that it would be an interesting topic. The only recognition I can give is to my group and Mrs. McComas for the helpful peer reviews. The only other thing I can thank would be my brain for constantly trudging through.......:)

Who knows? Maybe I will be a little ambitious tonight and post at least part of my rough drafts. My revisions just keep stacking up on me. Hopefully I won't drown......

I am relatively sure that I know how to tie this all together, although I haven't actually written it down on paper. I need a little clarification, though....our MRP is going to be presented as an entry in our blog, correct? We need to write a mini-story that ties it all together?? I just want to make sure that I have my head screwed on straight.

I am always very nervous about reading peer reviews. I am always anxious about what others think of my pieces. I know that some aren't as strong as others, so I am afraid of getting a harsh review. But then again it's my own fault for not making them as strong as they could be. I actually am wondering if I should have written this journal tonight....I am extremely tired and a little on the emotional side. I bet this journal entry is much different than any of the others I have written. Sorry!

Well, I think I have covered everything that is on my mind. Hopefully next week will be more exhilirating than this one. I am desperately trying to keep the faith....knowing that I only have 2 more weeks left to go before FLORIDA!!
