I have finished and turned in my final paper! I made all of the corrections my professor responded to me with, and I made the corrections I had from my hard copy! I feel good about this paper, and I feel like I have overcome a lot to get it done. There is a lot going on in my personal and family life right now, so to try and focus on something as serious as a a final research-like paper was very difficult. HOWEVER, I did it, and I feel exactly like the person in the picture.
I feel like my paper turned out pretty strong, but I do wish it had less direct quotes. I have a hard time when writing research-like papers with taking notes from sources and using those in indirect quotes. It's definitely a stylistic thing, but I feel like if someone has more indirect quotes it validates their paper a little more (just because it less of copying someone else's work/words down). This is something I have been working on in my other classes, though.
All in all, I am very glad to have finished this paper, and I feel like I completed it to the best of my ability. All anyone can ever ask for is someone's best effort. I do understand that it is my professor's job to grade me on where she thinks I could have performed, but whatever my grade is, I understand what I have overcome to write it.
