Final/Semi-Final Thoughts

I definitely bit off more than I could chew. I've been mucking about peacekeeping theory, international roles in theory and gained a bit of knowledge I didn't have, and I'm glad I did it. Overall though, it's far from my best paper in per capita quality. I would say I'm no closer to a definitive conclusion now than when I started. I feel like it's a step outside the walls or without training wheels or whatever that I haven't taken before. I said in class maybe a week ago that I feel like this was as much weathering a storm as a single bold step, meaning it's an ongoing steadily involving production more than an exertion of energy designed to go in one place. Or something. If I took six more weeks to work on this, I think I could have a 50% or so different paper, and could keep that going indefinitely.
