Next Paper and the Fourth of July

Well, I'm glad to have that first paper out of the way! Now it's on to the second one and I have no idea what I am going to write about. It's a good thing proposals aren't set in stone because I have a feeling my paper is going to be completely different from my proposal (again). Anyways, it is almost the 4th of July and I have to say I'm excited. I have always loved celebrating the 4th of July. Normally, my cousins from Ohio and sometimes the rest of my aunts, uncles and cousins come down here to celebrate with us. It's sort of like a big family reunion which, if can avoid fighting with each other, is pretty cool. We have a lot of fun when my cousins come down here. There is always swimming, a lot of eating and, of course, fireworks. I have to say that I like fireworks a lot better when they are the big kind viewed from a distance and not the kind that my brother, dad, uncle and younger male cousins shoot off in my backyard (my brother once scorched half the yard and some his hair off when he and a friend were shooting fireworks). This year, however, my cousins won't be here for the 4th of July but hopefully we can get together for some other holiday, be it down here on the coast or up there in Ohio.
