Research
Research. What a frustrating word. It deceives you. It sounds kind of fun at first and then it just gets long and tiresome. Working on my project, I have spent so much time finding sources that are NOT helpful. I think this is also because I don't really know what I am looking for until I find it. I have to get more specific with my search. At the same time, all the time and energy going into researching definitely does force me to think about what I want to find and do and say. It's almost like a HUGE HUGE brainstorm before you actually do anything to do with writing a paper etc..
Finally I would like to say that research has dominated my life so much - that it forces me to loose track of time... For example, the fact that it is Wednesday and I should have written about this research on Monday on my blog I did not realize. I have been in research coma! ( I know...excuses...excuses..) But it's kind of true!!

I know exactly how you feel! i have done so much research, and found sources that i originally thought might be good, and then had to go back and find others because i altered or narrowed my topic, it's interesting how you don't really know what you want until it's in front of you
