It’s like I can think of nothing but this paper. It’s constantly hanging over my head, but the idea of sitting down and actually writing it makes me feel sick. I would like to go ahead and get it over with, but I always wait until the last minute and then freak out. That’s just me. I want to change; maybe the Writing Center will fix me up! I made an appointment at the Writing Center for tomorrow. I hope that they will be able to get me on the right track. I’ve never been there, so I’m not too sure what to expect.
I personally don’t think that I’m the greatest writer in the world. So, I’m pretty worried about writing this paper. I’m worried about it not being long enough, having poor structure, being repetitive, or just having a weak argument. Whenever I wrote papers in high school, I feel like the teachers would just slap an A on it and call it a day. I know my papers weren’t perfect, but I always got A’s; even when I did post secondary, and so far in college, I have gotten A’s on all my papers. However, I would like to have gotten some sort of constructive criticism.
Another thing that’s holding me back is that I recently changed my argument after my conference. So, all the information I had looked up is now useless. I’ve been trying to find new information to support my argument, but I have been having a hard time with that. Most of the article titles that sound promising end up not having a PDF, which makes things even more difficult. Well, wish me luck!
I understand completely how you feel about writing this paper. However, I can't wait to set my appointment so I can get some much needed guidance.
ReplyDeleteI always have that feeling. When I sit in frount of my computer, My brain gaoes emptey. I even have not idea about my first word.
ReplyDeleteIt is different between thinking and doing.
Mu, I agree there is a huge difference between thinking and doing. When you think about something it is so much easier because you understand it all. However, when you have to write about your thoughts you have to make sure they are understandable for the people reading them. It's no easy task!
