Spring break was really great for me thesis-wise because I finished my paper! I have my first draft complete, and it's 26 pages double spaced. Today in thesis I spent time reading through it again (I hadn't looked at it since I finished, because I wanted to give myself some time away from it to be able to look at it again with a fresh pair of eyes) and editing the paper. I have to cut down on some of it, probably, to meet the length requirement, but otherwise I think I'm good. I found out today that the minimum length was 25 pages, not the maximum - I can go up to 35 or even 40 pages, if I want! I doubt I'll do that, but still, it's nice to know I won't have to worry about going overboard.
I also started working on the child education part of my paper; I had left that for last because that was the section that would require actual research and looking up sources and using citations and all that. Since the rest of my paper is just a personal account, it doesn't really have the look of a research paper (because it's not) and so I decided to leave the actual research-y stuff for last.
In the coming class periods, I intend to complete the child education section of my paper (shouldn't take more than 2-3 class periods, I hope) and then go into revising/editing the entire paper. I'm going to have to work out how I'm going to use a citation format though - I realize that I can't just use it in that one section of my paper; it'll have to be throughout. I'll see what I can do.
