Today in thesis, I worked some more on my paper. But first, I went around to my A day teachers and told them I wouldn't be in class on Friday because of choir again and talked with a couple of my classmates about SNHS things.
After looking through the last email and reading through the OWL website, I decided to try Chicago formatting in my paper. I think it'll work out pretty nicely; it's just going to take some work. I've never used a format that's not MLA before, so figuring out the whole footnotes thing and in-text superscripts will probably take a while. But I'm up for the challenge! Having my paper done already is a huge plus, because I still have about 3-4 weeks before my presentation. I'm hoping to have my paper completely done by the end of next week or so, though, so that I can spend some time creating the PowerPoint for my final presentation.
In class today, I also completed the child education section of my paper. It's shorter than I was initially anticipating, but that's not necessarily a bad thing - I might add more stuff to it later, but my paper is still 26 pages. It was 28 pages after I added the child education section, but then I went through the entire paper and started adding in the Chicago formatting - one of the things I had to do was single-space all the quoted text. That shortened the length of my paper by two pages.
In the next few classes, I hope to finish adding the Chicago formatting into my paper and then get started on my presentation preparation.
