Between The Review, USAP, and a recent A&P test, I've had precious few opportunities to breathe. I don't remember having seen some of my friends yet this week. I haven't set foot in the cafeteria since last Friday, and for once I've refused to take breaks while working because there's just so much to be done. I'm also spending entire nights, practically, on the phone. This is all so weird. I don't think I've worked this hard at any point this entire year. Aaaah. Well, spring break is next week. And then I shall be working on USAP some more, cleaning my room, contacting Philmont, and trying to sleep. I am very much looking forward to spring break.
But in the meantime, this final bibliography for USAP is killing me. I definitely haven't done enough research to know exactly what I need or want to do, so this'll all be like a huge shot in the dark. Hopefully, regardless of what sources I choose to use, I'll be able to find something that'll work as a thesis. One of the great things about this topic of muckrakers - aside from the fact that all of them are writers and so I have plenty of primary sources! - is that all of them were either vain enough or farseeing enough to write autobiographies... vain because they think that they're that important and farseeing because they realised (with or without humility) that what they did was important.
I did a hasty sketch of Mr. Popp to-day, during class. He's currently headless. I shall put up an image of the sketch... but later. Right now I'm trying to decide whether or not Ray Stannard Baker has a place in this USAP thing or not.
