Research Update

     My research project was about Merchants in the Middle Ages. At first, the research was fairly easy and each question that I had was leading to another. Now that I have pulled most of those strings, I do not know if I have enough information fill the final paper (when it comes). Thus, I am at a point where I do not know if I should find more sources or just try to muster everything that I can out of the ones that I have.
     On the brighter side of things, I am still interested in my reaserch topic. Secondly, the sources that I do have are strong and have allowed me to develop not only basic information but also to make a valid argument about merchants. Overall, my research is continuing to develop but still needs work. In conclusion, I have a strong idea of where I intend to carry my research too, but I am unsure if I have enough sources to meet the page requirements of the final paper.

         When I overheard someone says that Shihab Nye would be coming during announcements, I did not know what to expect. I loved reading Mint Snowball, and even though that was the only narrative I read written by Shihab, I already thought that she was a great writer.          Before I knew it, Shihab Nye had started reading various poems.

Each poem was better than the last. Soon I felt and saw the world of poetry. Shihab Nye had shown me the wonders of a poem.

     I did several things over the weekend that would make the weekend qualify as unique. Friday night, after LAUNCH, our plumbing system broke, leaving our house without hot water for the entire weekend. The next morning I awoke and had to take care of the yard. This is usually not a big deal, just a quick cutting of the grass. Unfortunately the I put this off for so long that our yard became a jungle. My lawnmower's weals were too small to drive over the thickets of grass in my path. After my first impossible task was completed, I had to clean up the yard. To my dismay, we had our roof redone last weekend, and the roof-men dumped all of the old shingles into our pool. Thus I needed to get them out. So I dove down into the pool, which was green by now due to the algae build up and not heated, to pull out the roof shingles. Finally, I was able to relax, study, and stress eat for the remainder of the weekend.      Between my constant chors and gorging myself with food, I managed to

     The nine eleven attacks were a collection of Islamic terrorists from Saudia Arabia hijacked and crashed planes into the Pentagon, the World Trade Center, and one plane crashed in a field while heading to Washington DC. Ther was over three-thousand people killed and six-thousand people injured in these attack.       As a kid, I heard about 911 every year,  but I never really understood the attacks until I read various accounts. After reading numerous articles on the acts of terrorism, I contemplated what would have been going through my head if I had been in the Twin Towers. I thought about my priorities, if I was ready to die, and how I would react if i actually survived.
