Dragging Feet and Dragging Change

This week seemed like a rippled look into a past life. I don't procrastinate often like I used to, but this week I did. Our assignment asked us to write a short 500-700 paper with 5 sources. Are you kidding me! I can write a short paper with a few sources. I can write a long paper with a lot of sources, but a short essay--not research paper mid you--with 5 sources is ridiculous. To make matters worse there was no prompt. I didn't ask for a topic, just a prompt. So what did I do, I chose to avoid writing until 10:00pm on Sunday evening when the assignment was due by midnight. My best work? Probably not! I know I could have done better, but to limit the thoughts from five rather long sources to only 500-700 words is like a slow academic death. Don't get me wrong, I don't think the answer would be a longer paper either. It just seems to me that if you want quality analysis, which I did not have in my short paper, then either sources or length needs to be adjusted.

Again, not as proud of my writing as I usually am. I started off feeling creative, then ended feeling powerless to the limited questions to my interviewee and the overwhelming amount of information that could work with my theme. If youare bold enough to dare you may look at my wiki to see my assignment Dragging Change.
