Well, I did learn a lot from doing the peer review paper…I saw how other’s had set theirs up.  I think that is important when finding how a person wants to set up their own reserach paper.  I also learned that it is hard to critique another person when you feel insecure about your own work.  This was the hardest part for me.  The reason that I feel this way is because I found myself making the same mistakes when I was writing.  So why be so harsh on the next person who does the same? I don’t have a college education..yet.  When doing the peer review it made me ask questions of “Did I remember to put that in when this person didn’t? or “Did I do this as well as they did theirs?” These are important questions that need to be asked and are forced upon the reviewer.  That is why peer review is so important in the process of writing a paper.  You as the writer become the reader (finally) and have to look at someone else’s work that you have no idea about how they write or how they want to convey theirself. 

When doing the research paper I found many things to be so interesting.  I love the topic that I picked and where it is going still.  Its hard for me not to want to work my ass off with something that I find intrest in.  When starting my paper I was very focused on many different roads that it could have taken…as time went on I found the path that was the best.  It narrowed down my topic and reserach very pin point.  I found it even harder though at that time to find more things to write about and where to find them.  I relied on heavy backing from my literature.  Also, I have found out this… my paper will never ever be done totally.  I really do want to get my paper published.  At the begining of the year when Marlen said that I thought that would be one in a million chance for me to even have that thought! But as the paper starts to wind down and all the hard work is falling in place I would be dissapointed if I didn’t at least try to…and I won’t stop at the first no.
