I’ll cut to the chase, I am very tired, mentally and physically. Thankfully I’m still invested in this research and project but I feel like I’m moving too slow.. I straight up feel like I’m on my last leg of a marathon and I see the finish, I know I’m gonna finish, but literally everyone is passing me lol. As time progresses, I realize how slow I synthesize my research and I have also come to the realization that have anxiety surrounding constructing a compelling narrative of conflict resolution in our project. The conflict is clear as day, but weaving in instances of resolutions has proven difficult. That being said, I have focused a lot on the building blocks, i.e., important people, legislation, etc. whereas Ben has been a God send and has been able to construct a cohesive narrative of the 20th century, where our story ends. I’m pushing through and I am really appreciative of the support they I have received so far from my partner, fellow classmates, and professors.
