Alright. My proposal took about an hour to write once I got started. Getting started involved coming up with just about as many excuses as I could for as long as I could. Then I helped Mandy go through hers until about three in the morning. I'm a little worried that the proposal isn't really much of a proposal and more of, well, not a proposal, but it doesn't really matter that much. What's a little more important right now is the child language acquisition paper that I have to write a proposal for. It's due tomorrow, and it's supposed to have an annotated bibliography of at least ten sources. After taking a bit of a peek at the University Library search engine I discovered that I'm pretty much going to need to go back up to school to get the stuff I need for that bibliography. I'm not too happy about that, but at least it's open for another six hours or so. I don't really need to spend a long time up there, and luckilly the majority of the books involving German seem to be not checked out. I found about ten results involving some manner of acquisition of the German language, and about twenty results for books about the particular grammatical aspect I'm looking at. What my hope is is that I'll be able to marry some theories about German language acquisition in general with a framework of general grammatical background. This shouldn't be too bad - I just need to get motivated enough to get back up there. I probably should have done this before I came home, but whatever. I kind of don't want to drive myself up there, so ideally father would come home in the next little while, I could get a ride, and then trick someone into coming to get me again when I'm finished. That would be ideal.
And, in case you didn't notice, I updated the picture of myself on the page once again. This is a cropping from a picture that Anne took of me in the spring. I think that it's really a great indication of how I actually look. Much moreso than that smug looking picture that I had up for the last few weeks. Let me know what you think!
