What I Did Today
Woke up at a rather late hour.
Read the first 133 pages of a novel for one of my classes.
Drove to the Coralville spillway to see the fossil gorge for the second time. (The first time was when it was brand new. Umm, not when it was brand new. But when it was first unearthed in 1993. Umm, after the flooding. You know what I mean!)
Wrote reaction paper to the first 133 pages of the previously mentioned novel.
It's the first paper I've written since returning to school, and I am a little rusty on things like citation.* But I think it came out okay. Nice to get the first one done, anyway. Tomorrow I'll start another one for a different class. Maybe I'll finish it, since I didn't really expect to have the first one done until tomorrow.
* Which is why I spent $18 on a research paper style manual. It's one of the few books I willingly paid full price for this semester.

I have found it useful in generating citations for footnotes for papers I write. There are a lot of fairly pricy software apps that do the same thing, but you're probably better off with your $18 style manual.
