Extension

I rarely have to ask for an extension to finish a paper. Once during my prerequisite coursework I asked for one. Now I have had to ask again. My professor has been aware of my kidney stone issues, and gives me another week to complete the work. I am very grateful, and begin to organize my thoughts.

Now that I am looking at the assignment with a clearer head, it begins to take on a life and shape of its own. It turns out not to be so daunting and complex, but begins to almost write itself and the meat of what we have digested begins to produce the reflections that have apparently been rumbling around inside of me for awhile.

I section off the parts and allot time and space to each of the 5 parts. Yes, in a week of evenings, I can accomplish the writing and perhaps even submit ahead of the extension deadline. I am encouraged. Maybe I am headed up the well I fell into and will be OK after all.
