Hard to focus.....Writing my research outline

Today has been a long one...I've spent most of my day reading and writing my (detailed!) outline for my research project....I finally have a title wich is "Attenuated Neurological and Cognitive Development among physically abused children related to duration of trauma"...The outline is 5 pages long--and that was difficult to shorten to that!  We had to outline the intro, a lit review, and our methods for how we would design the study....we don't actually have to do it but we have to design it like we would....So hopefully everything is ok......I guess many a person in my class has called/written/whined to her so she posted a semi-cranky (less cranky then I would be!) note on blackboard that it is disappointing to her that she has to again push the deadline back but that if people have to turn it in next week she will deduct points and grade more critically....I get VERY irritated sometimes with how some of my classmates whine and complain so much until they get things changed! Maybe it's because I'm not always the most flexible person when it comes to plans and also because usually what they are asking is not ridiculously hard AND usually when it's planned originally makes sense!! GRRR...our midterm tomorrow WAS supposed to be right before spring break like every other midterm but due to endless quandries (ya like that word!) it already got pushed back to tomorrow SO not only do we have this paper but we also have the midterm (with an additional week of notes/lecture) on the same day! So how this made it easier I dunno..but I won't add to the complaining....
I've been pretty depressed all day and distracted by the Terri Schiavo news...I've written alot about it on the forum under JOIN KARA'S TEAM...Please go there and tell me what YOU think! 
Well that's all for tonight...Gnight!
