Today I had planned on turning in the rough draft of my SCORE essay I labored over yesterday to my SCORE advisor, Coach Marty Stephan. Unfortunately, I learned that he was not at school today, making it impossible for me to hand in my essay. This leaves me having to email my essay to him, which is also coincidentally unfortunate because I had saved the rough draft on my home desk top. It will be simple to do later, I suppose, but at the present time it is a minor annoyance. But enough of my problems; I have to relate how I long I worked on my rough draft for.
The answer to that was all day. As I mentioned before in a previous post. I had not been able to start my rough draft until Wednesday. On Wednesday, I finished about a page and a half before finishing up for the day, vowing that I would complete it on Thursday. From 9:30 on Thursday morning to 10:30 at night, I worked arduously on the rough draft. I realistically realized early on that it would not be the required 12 pages, but since it was a rough draft I didn't have to worry about that now. I also didn't have all of my sources put together, but again reasoned that I had more than enough to complete this draft and would get more for the final draft.
Overall, I probably could have been more organized in my approach to writing the paper. I did have enough sufficient quotes to make my rough draft a complete essay. What I will add on to my final draft will be quotes from interviews, which I admit I haven't done yet, and also more sources, including books and from a website/podcast/video.
