Draft 1

 My framework figure was accepted!!! Now, I have already submitted the first complete draft to Deepak and the professor as of today. The Conference deadline for the paper submission is the 30th, and my internship ends on the 29th, which is perfect timing. Since I have submitted the whole paper draft, I can now say that I am proud of the writing in that paper; although counting all the smaller subdrafts, I probably have written more than 25 pages of information. After Deepak's comments, I cut these pages to 8 with a very heavy heart. I always had a problem with feedback because I always think that my work is amazing and there is no reason to delete or rephrase a significant part of it. This is a behavior I noticed I had after my GSTR 310 professor pointed out that my second draft was my first draft but with a different name. Since then, I have tried to accept feedback more open-hearted. I think this time was a bit different since when I am writing an academic paper in Berea, I usually dont have enough time, or I am stressed, something that leads to keeping parts of the paper just because changing them would take a long time. But, if my only job for 8 hours a day is writing the paper, then I am more reluctant to delete my own writing. 

For the last two days, I have mostly been passing my paper through Grammarly and mostly changing words instead of phrases and ideas. Right now, I am waiting on the feedback, so for the next couple of days, I will focus on organizing the code and uploading it to GitHub.
