Lessons Learned During Crunch Time

With only one day in which to really write my paper, I have learned the following:

- A 10-page paper really doesn't take that long to write, as long as you know what you want to write about.

- A thesis statement can be developed after the majority of the paper is written. In fact, it's sometimes easier to do so after you know what you have already written about.

- The theme of the paper can be developed while writing.

- It's amazing how many different ways there are to say the same thing.

- Even without any experience in a particular field, it is possible to sound like a seasoned professional (I hope).

Almost done with my paper! Yay! I might even be able to leave the house today!
