First Day of Research

5 April 2011

Today was my first day of research. After spending five hours in the stacks of Langsam pouring through books, I was able to find my first four sources for my paper. I feel like four sources in five hours is a good start to the research process. However, after anaylizing these texts I'm not sure what direction I will choose for my paper. I know my stance will be pro capital punishment, but there are many directions I could take to prove my arguement. I think I will prove my arguement through the lense of religion views, ethicial debates, and justice in society. I am passioniate towards my topic, but fear my passion will not show through the facts and direction of my paper. It's too early to start freaking out about the paper though, so I will do the only thing I can do, research. I'm headed back to Langsam, we've built a great relationship so far this year and I have confidence that she will not let me down. Together we will construct a paper that will convience even the most stuborn anti-death penalty supports to reconsider their stance, and help me receive an A!

Love,
It's too early to freak out, right?
