Ahhhhhhh!!!!!

I can't write. No, really, I've lost the ability. I'm sitting here trying to put this annotated bibliography together and I feel like it's a total failure. I have a paragraph on each source but I can't figure out how to put them together. I mean, some of them are in conversation for real, and some of them aren't but they do speak to on another. It just feels really contrived.

Ok I finished it and sent it. It's not bad, although the "conversation" that I'm interested in doesn't even have ten players in it. That's why it is so interesting to me. How often to you find somewhat unexplored territory when you're studying Milton?? So anyway, I found some other sources about Nature to include in my annotated bib/essay, but I kind of just had to explain how I was going to bring them into the conversation. So I hope that's good enough.

The rest of my weekend includes even more work to freak out about!!! I have a ten-page essay for Dobranski (terrifying), reading, reading, reading, and I have to make up an essay assignment that has multiple steps for an imaginary 1101 or 1102 class. I think I'll talk about that since I'm worn out on Milton.

So I'm thinking my writing assignment could be to take a picture of an object or a place that is important to you. Then bring that picture or the object (if it's small enough) to class. Then there could be a class period where we talk about these objects and descriptive words, etc. Then they could go home and write a 2-3 page description of the object or place. Then we could have peer review and then a final draft.

I don't know. That is awful. I have an 1102 text book in my car, so maybe I'll look at that for ideas.
