* Last night's Seminar for Anat&Phys1 highlighted some general issues with paper outlines. The instructor's mild frustration with the lesser quality of some of the final paper outline projects was fairly evident. They have set a standard, and based upon that have certain expectations-and that's a good thing. I haven't gotten my grade back from that, yet, but I think that I still did well enough. Which, could always be better. My one weakness remains APA 6th Edtn. Last Term was made a lot easier because there was a thorough handbook for Comp I, especially concerning the specifics of APA format. Now, in spite of just a few changes, this latest edition of APA is still not sitting well with me. Time to go back to the Writing Center and get some further clarification on this, before I start re-drafting my Final Papers.

* My migraine is beginning to dissipate, at last. Today, my computer screen isn't "swimming" continually in front of me like it has been for much of this week. There is less flickering light visual disturbance, and my typing and thinking is clearer. Little by little, I think that this migraine is starting to go away.

I hope that everyone has a stress-free weekend!.
