I had originally I had a different topic. I couldnt find any sources about
it. Then I started to look for a different topic and I had found new topic but
the hour was over. I went home that night and thought about it and decided
that I didnt want to do the second topic I had picked so, the next day I asked
some of my friends in my class what they thought that I should do and Cami
suggested what is the best pet. The next two days I found my sources. The
only problem was that I had seven sources out of twelve.

On February 6th, I finished all of my source cards. I was nervous for

February 9th because we were going to start our note cards, I didnt think that
I was going to have enough information in the sources that I had because we
need 50 note cards! Once we were about four days into writing our note
cards and they were hard for me because my sources werent as good as I

thought. On the 12th I was five note cards behind because I thought we
needed 20 but we needed 25.

After we finished our 50 note cards we got pick between a poll or an

interview to conduct. I chose to conduct a poll. On February 25th, I was
behind because we had mid-winter break then we went back to school
Wednesday but then we had two snow days on Thursday and Friday. I finally
finished!

My final outline was the easiest part of the paper for me, because of
this I got it done on time and I got a good grade on it.
