finally done with history!!

I am finally done! I spent the last week gathering census information at the campus library. Thanks to Cory he gave me the 8 census tract numbers and I was able to find the data I needed. I had to add up all the tract numbers to get an accurate population rate, ancestry, etc. It took so much longer then I thought it would. Thank God for computers and that everything is on the computer for 2000 and beyond!!
I have been under an enormous amount of stress like everyone else is. I was sick Sunday and got behind on my work. This class is very different than anything I have ever taken. I am used to being able to manage my time and priorities but this semester has been a challenge but a great learning experience.

I think that we are so close and can get everything together before the event. We can do it guys!!! I think things are going to go really well. I have learned a lot the last couple of days about the community and I am starting to really get excited that we are going to continue the research after this semester.
