Research Project, "The Making Off"

To be honest, it´s not been easy to give birth to my paper. My biggest problem was to put in twelve pages all that I wanted to say about the origins of jazz music and the discriminative and racist environment that has always surrounded this music genre. I enjoyed the part of looking for books and articles, reading and thinking. But when I started to write I thought I was not going to be able to present a decent and objective development of my thesis; to my surprise things flowed and the ideas got clearer while I was keeping writing. Finally I had to change a little bit the thesis and the final product was not exactly what I had in my mind, but it doesn´t mean that I don´t like what I wrote. I wouldn´t change any word of what I said, and if I did it I would just provide more information like more examples and other approaches to the subject.

I have the feeling that my written expression has improved very fast in a few days, as well as my capacity for organising ideas and develop them. Especially during the last days in the computer lab, I enjoyed the process of writting. It´s been a very rich and educative activity (now that is over I can say that).

Oh! I almost forget!! The best thing it´s that I´ve been listening to a lot of good jazz during these last two weeks!!
