Editing my essay

I just finished editing my essay. It went okay. I had to go back and put in a lot of citations but that was not too bad. I am going to talk with Walter this weekend about filming and the importance of knowing how to use the camera correctly.

Hand washing is a common OCD symptom

What I took away from my research paper...

I realized that I know a lot about OCD. I learned a lot about the biological cause and affect of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. I thought that I had a better understanding of what I am going to make my documentary on now after writing my paper but I do not. I have been talking to Ms. Beck a lot and we are going to plan a time to brainstorm ideas. I thought about maybe doing a comedy or a parody instead of a documentary. I am not sure yet, the only thing I know for sure is that I am going to do a video of some sort. I am also asking my best friend, Zohar, to help me with ideas because she did a documentary last year for her keystone. I hope I figure it out soon but its not the end of the world. I feel on top of my work and it is a really big stress reliever.


Ideas for video:

• parody
• documentary
• myth/fact 

hmm.......

One more thing!

I am not sure how long my paper is supposed to be but I hope 5 pages is okay... if not... well then I am screwed.

Writing my paper!

Ugh, I hate doing work over break...

Fortunately, I just finished my rough draft of my OCD research paper. I had to do so much research in the process. I had to get out all my Moms books and read and take notes and it seemed like a never ending process. It took a pretty long time to write it so hopefully it is up to par. I will be writing another blog entry this week reflecting on how my research "has shaped, altered or furthered my vision of my product."
