Onto The Finish Line!
Whew! I'm finally finished with my research paper for this class. And if you believe that, I have some beachfront property I'd like to sell you in Victorville...
I, unfortunately, have to go to Victorville tomorrow to attend a civil court hearing. It's one of those "show up at 8:30 AM and we'll take you in alphabetically" days. It seems my niece is taking my sister to court in the attempt to place a restraining order on her. Of course, my sister wasn’t notified about the court appearance until this afternoon. My niece probably waited until the last possible moment hoping my sister couldn’t get the day off from work. It is widely known that if one party is not present during the proceedings the judge will usually rule in favor of the party that is present. I'll be there for moral support, for my sister. My niece should have her children taken away from her until she gets herself cleaned up (and out), so we have CPS in the picture as well. Should be a lot of fun.
I might as well be there as I haven't received a book from Barnes and Noble that holds the key to my paper. I paid for expedited shipping in hopes it would have been here early this week. I have other papers to look at, but I really need this book.
I chose the second option to research. The whole Iran thing is way out of my comfort zone so I have really been struggling to get my head and heart into this project. I am taking five classes as many of you are. I graduate from Cal State Bakersfield in June so I am really busy with senior seminar and credentialing course work.
Anyways, I know this post isn’t as long as required, but I really don’t see the point of whining about it in light of the personal issues my family is facing. The paper will eventually get done. They always do, somehow.

“On to the Finish line” what a fitting title, and now that I have finished the first draft of my essay (finally) I feel like the finish line is finally in site. Before I wrote or finished my essay it seemed very overwhelming, but after I got the ball rolling it seemed more reasonable. I can see all the stresses of everyday life are conflicting with your paper, and trust me I know how you feel, just bare down and get it done. Once I started it I almost couldn’t stop because I kept finding out new information and wanting to incorporate it into my essay. I know what you mean, Iran is a very hard country to understand and the topics pertaining to Iran can be very foreign and overwhelming. This is mainly because the ideologies and cultures expressed in Iran are so different from the here in the United States. After reading many newspapers, magazines and articles on nuclear power in Iran I finally have somewhat of an idea of what is going on over there, but before this project I hadn’t the slightest clue. I realize this project is a lot to take in, especially on top of other classes at the end of the semester, but you will be ok, like you said they all get done somehow.
