DAY NUMERO CUATRO

Today began superbly. I spent three and half hours in the AP English exam, after this I was pretty drained, so I went home and ate lunch with my cousin who has just returned from Ireland, where she was studying abroad for four months. I really did not have any time to do any significant work on my project, though I did begin the outline for my research paper, " Private schools: What all the fuss is about."

It will look something like this-

I. introduction- what are independent schools, their purpose, mission, etc..

- Body paragraphs/topics

I. NAIS- basic info, missions statement, resources..

II. AISGW- ( same as NAIS) and hopefully I will be able to interview Betsy Downes, who is the director and a close pal of my dad's

III. Private v. Public, benefits of sending your child to a private school rather than a public school

IV. The world of Private schools in DC, social, economic... ( especially if you're new to the area)

V. Conclusion

-This is what I have so far, but I'm sure it will be subject to change.

But now alas, I must go cram intensely for my AP US history exam

peace+love
