Complaints

So far the only real problem that I have had with my paper is length. I am just tired of writing it. And right now there are mid-terms and I am super stressed about my grades and I am just kind of over writing the whole thing in general. I feel like the process is dragged out and I would rather just write it and have the conference and turn it in. I don’t really like the peer reviews, I don’t like reading, much less reading other research papers. I don’t necessarily want other people reading my paper either, I would rather it just be the teacher. I do like feed-back, which is why I like the conference but I like to get the teacher’s feedback. I don’t even really know what I have written in my paper anymore, I have been avoiding it for about a week now because Im so sick of it. I feel like all of the information starts to sound the same after a while. Umm I guess the best way to sum up how I am feeling about my paper right now is that I am just over it and want it turned in and done. Then on top of this work we have readings, blogs, that 3 page double journal entry, I have to study, go to other classes, and just a ton of other shit to do and I am just wicked stressed out right now. Right now I am honestly not putting very much effort in to my paper, mostly because I am just kind of tired of doing work and am ready for spring break. I am over the cold weather and waking up at 7 and I am running very low on motivation to even get to class in the morning but I am guessing that will change after break. The only troubles I have had with the paper is, like I said, length but that is just because I am tired of writing. I am also kind of pissed some one else has the same topic as me and I don’t remember reading any of the pieces of construction paper with the same topic as mine but whatever. In the beginning I was having trouble with my sources and getting enough info, but after my meeting in the RWC I figured that out and learned how to extract more information and how to better analyze what I already had. One thing that I actually did like about my research so far was the interviews, I had fun conducting them and my answers were really helpful and gave me a new perspective on my topic, so I guess I don’t really have any complaints there. I guess my question would have to do with that fact that someone has the same topic as me now and that is… will our papers be compared at all during the grading process? Like if that person has information that I do not have or could not find, will I be penalized, or vice versa?
