In response to the following comment:

Good to hear what others are doing and to switch 3rd & 1st person when you need to. However, can you reflect more on either the writing process itself or on the content of your project? I'd like to hear more in here about how your thinking develops and changes as things happen in your project since it is so interesting!

Fair enough, I realize that that is the purpose of the blog. The thing is, writing 3 times a week about the writing process? What do I write about? It's not like I edit my paper 3 times a week, or conduct new and exciting resesarch 3 times a week, or write 3 different drafts a week. I dont feel like my writing process is changing or developing. Maybe I'm failing the point of the project - but I just can't see myself developing.

Well, here goes nothing...a reflection of my writing process.

Today I edited my draft again - I changed some phrases and put in the citations where necessary. Overall, I'm very pleased with how the proposal is turning out. It feels strong and pretty clear (at least insofar as I'm clear about my intentions on this project). I think I followed the guidelines and it feels pretty successful (although I'll see when grades come out I guess).

The project itself is becoming muddled in my head. Considering it more, I feel as though authoritative language is different also, which means that I should include that in my reflections (instead of depending soley on peer interactions). In addition, all of the research I've found seems to indicate that the difference isn't attributed to language so much as environment (clinical and classroom versus riding arena). While in my head, I think I attribute the educational differences to environment more so than language, I concede that language may have a very powerful affect. Maybe the research just hasn't been conducted yet? I guess scientifically, it's not fair to make priliminary assumptions - I'll have to wait until spring break when I do my observations.

Either way, I'm out
