Submitting My Rough Draft?
Well today when I was looking at MyCompLab and my email I found out that no where did it show that i submitted my rough draft, which is complete bull. I know I did because I had to change my citations from how I normally do them until I'm done with my paper and go back through and put them in correct format. Ugh, I hate computers. Something like this happens everytime I need to use the computer/internet for projects for school.

My Thoughts and Feelings on Peer Editing My Groups Papers...
Well, I really don't think my group has put too much effort forth in their rough drafts. Some of them seem like they are only 2 pages long! Granted I can't really judge because I'm looking at them online when I edit, but they were no where near the 8-10 pages the final paper has to be and it's due in a week! Hopefully, it's just because they were slacking and didn't really care about the rough draft because otherwise they'll have a lot of writing to do over the next week. I dunno, maybe I'm too rough on them because I work at the Writing Center and I've been trained to avoid every possible english mistake (SPLIT INFINITIVES) with Sideris last semester. Who knows? Hopefully the rest of the papers (if they submit them on MyCompLab) will be well written.
Rough Draft/Peer Editing
Well my rough draft is coming along. I need to work on my organization some though because I feel some of my sentences are just not in the right spots yet. Maybe I just need to expand on my thoughts there though instead? I dunno. I started peer editing people's papers in my group though last night. Some were good, some not so good. Hopefully this peer editing thing will work out well though, because it is important to have someone else besides yourself looking at your papers. I would suggest that people use the Writing Center because they can really help improve your writing.

Rough Draft
Today I submitted my rough draft. I think for a rough draft it's very well written although I think I did the citations wrong. I do need to figure out what I want to say for an introduction, but I have learned to do that last to know exactly what I'm introducing. Also, I need to include more of my personal feelings and opinions about the facts I have included in my paper. I am actually worried about going over the page limit though on this paper.
