I went back to the history textbook today and looked over on what information it had based on the Enlightenment. There was some useful additional information that I took note of. Afterwards, I looked on some of the primary sources that the textbook used and took some in consideration to use as my primary sources, since I am mainly in need of them. Then, I started to look over my sources to get an idea of which ones would be worthy enough to do an OPVL on them. At last, I started to work on my first body paragraph of the essay, but did not finish or took it very far. I hope to get a lot done tomorrow!

What I did today was to reread the insructions to keep them fresh in my mind and remind myself what to get done, but there was no further work able to be done, not very happy about it. This week has been filled with a lot of homework lately...mostly studying. I AM GETTING SOMETHING DONE TOMORROW! There is no way that tomorrow I will not be able to get things done.
Total time spent: 7 minutes Today was quite a day! I had a Cross Country meet, had lots of fun and came home late and exhausted. Finished my homework and did some studying, but by then I could barely stay awake. As an athlete, I take my health very seriously and believe that in order to perform at my best in both school and sports, there must first be quality sleep. There was nothing accomplished today.
Total time spent: 0 minutes There was not much that I was able to do today. I had a lot of homework and studying to do for math and chemistry (for some reason its always those two subjects that demand a lot of time). What I was able to do was only to write down a few ideas for the essay, of what I should say on certain topics, just suggestions so that I keep those in mind while I am writing.
Total time spent: 15 minutes Today I started out the rough draft of the Liberty Project. Deep Breath! When it comes to writing, especially in cases of these long liberal essays, I must write under very special conditions. First, there must be zero distractions, none, even the slightest distraction and I just can't write because I feel that I am not getting all the thoughts in the paper which makes me feel that it is incomplete. Second, I have to be inspired. Haha, I know. What I mean is that, under a nice quiet environment, I have to have all my thoughts concentrated on this topic only, other thoughts flying by will disturb me. Due to this, usually first off, I just kind of sit there for a moment and sort out my thoughts, think of the information and add notes to make reminders to myself, after that, I begin the writing process.
In all, it takes me a very long time to write an essay because I repeatedly go through that process many times, but I think that it really helps me and in the end I am satisfied with my work. I wrote the introduction and I think that for today, that's good. I'm tired, Cross Country practice today was a killer, but I'm not going into that. Tomorrow I hope to continue to write. Total time spent: 58 minutes Managing to get time to work on the Liberty Project, today I spent time on a process in order to start out the rough draft this week. First, I organized all my information in a new way on Diigo to find whatever I need right away by arranging some tags. Then, I went through all the information, revising it and taking in and adding on to it, so that I am able to have only information that I will use. Finally, now with knowing exactly what I have, I wrote out an oultine of the essay. Everything is now complete nd ready to go. All I need is to start writing out the rough draft!
Total time spent: 2 hours I am so proud of myself! Studied for chemistry for a little while and for the rest of the day all I did was work on the Liberty Project. This totally meant that I had no social life whatsoever this day because there was a party that I could've gone to, kind of sad about that, but I chose not to go. There was a little voice inside my head saying to pick up the text book, so I did and spent about 2 hours taking really worthy notes off of the history, which I think is going to come so much in handy!!!
Afterwards, I did more research on the affected countries from the American Revoltuion and these are the countries I am planning to talk about: France, Haiti, Ireland and Italy. Truthfully, I think that I may drop Italy, if for some reason I feel the need to, because I feel like I may not have enough information. Anyways, all I have to do know is organize my information in a way to start out the rough draft. There was so much accomplished today! Total amount spent: 4 hours, 30 minutes Nothing big was accomplished today, not proud of it either. I had Cross Country and came home to do homework until night arrived and I was really sleepy by then. Feeling guilty as I go to bed, but I promise myself that tomorrow is a devoted day to the Liberty Project!!
Total time spent: 0 mintes Continuing with what I left off yesterday, within what I was able to get done, I now see that Germany was affected a little more by the French Revolution than the American Revolution, but I am talking about how the American and not the French Revolution affects on other countries. I am trying to think of how to organize that out or if I should just leave Germany out. I really do not want to though; maybe what I can arrange is since the French Revolution was affected by the American Revolution first, then in some way it must have also been influenced by the American Revolution. I also began to look at how Scotland was affected, but just decideed to drop that one out. Besides Scotland, I am also still questioning Ireland. with the research that I did, the political and economic impact of the American Revolution on Ireland was talked about, but this does not really feel like it was actually influenced by the ideas of the American Revolution based on the Enlightenment. I guess I'll have to look a bit deeper into that one.
Another country that was found affected by America is Italy, but I have not touched that too much, tomorrow will probably be a good idea to see about that one. So far, I feel really confident about what I have. All I have to do soon in the next couple of days is arrange my information in a way where I can hopefully start writing out a rough draft. Total time spent: 37 minutes For the time I had to research, today my accomplishments were great! There is so much information on my Diigo acount now. Today was about the influenced countries of the American Revolution and besides France I ran with luck to find the possible candidates which are: Haiti, Ireland, Scotland, Germany and possibly Spain. I have not got the chance to look the last one yet. Besides that, because I ran out of time, I saved many other sites for me to look at tomorrow on Diigo, which I am very happy about. I was getting a bit worried that I had not had much time the last couple of days, but I feel that I am on track and getting towards somthing great!
