5. Reflecting on the Research

We finally turned in that Research Paper that we've been working on for so long to perfect! I'm so relieved that it's finally done. Even though I was a few minutes late, I'm just glad it's over. I woke up at 7:50 this morning so I wouldn't be late to class so I went to the Wilkinson Center and printed out the papers and got it all stapled. Afterwards I got some Subway because I had some extra time and I walked down to the Maeser Building where we normally had class. As I walked inside, the scariest thought came to my mind. It was Friday. On Friday's we had class at the JKB. My heart sank as I realized I only had two minutes to get there. I struggled to speed walk as my knee was restraining me from going any faster, due to the recent surgery I had done on it. But I made it and should only lose a few points so I'm not too worried about that.

Now that that is off my chest, I will like to talk about the actual research paper. It was so much fun to come up with all of this information that was easily accessible to me. At times I would just keep looking up more and more because, well, I like to learn new things. I can't wait to show my mom this essay so that maybe she will consider changing her mind. My favorite part was finding out how right I actually was. I knew that mulching grass helped the grass quite a bit, but I still had no idea to what extent it helped. Bagging grass now just seems so illogical. I find it fun to think about the processes that the grass undergoes to benefit the lawn.

In the end, I found it fun to do a research paper on something with so much science in it. I really enjoy these topics and will take any opportunity I get to write another science related paper for class, if it is an option. I like writing about chemical processes. I hope to do more and pursue my major, which is chemical engineering. I am excited for the rest of school. This Writing 150 class is starting to grow on me quite a bit.
