Semester from Hell


So I knew this semester was going to be a lot of work, but I didn't think it was actually going to kick my ass. Between the weekly lab reports from Bio and Chem, the mandatory water polo practices that I still seem to skip, and the thousands on little assignments that serve little purpose... I'm pooped. But to be honest, the one thing I dislike the most is writing. I've never been fond of it to begin with, nor have I been good at it. The first Crot paper was "okay" to write, but this research paper is just too much! It's so difficult to find legitimate work and websites that I can site between all my other schoolwork and trying to fit in an interview that didn’t really serve any justice is quite difficult as well. When I started to write this paper I was annoyed because I didn't even understand what to do. I didn’t know if I was writing the research paper correctly, and usually I don’t mind research papers. The past few I’ve written weren’t that bad for me… but this one just has been causing me stress upon stress.
I must say though, after the RWC conference it gave me some confidence. Still I get frustrated having to look these arguments or interviews, or facts up. This is the one thing I've had the most difficulty with, was finding good enough sources. I’ve been able to find thousands of blogs and how people feel about Disney Stereotypes, but not a lot of factual sources. This in turn just gets me aggravated, and not wanting to continue working on my paper. AHHH! I can't wait until Spring-much-needed-Break… Even though I’ll be finishing this paper.

  1. I would totally agree with most of what Courtney is saying. There is just so much going on, and this paper is blowing it up. Spring Break at this point is much needed, I’m scared to see how we all come back, and I doubt we will want to do much of anything. Unfortunately we have to finish this paper over break and well I don’t know how well that can go, no offense. Anyways I stink at writing, and this research paper is proof that I cannot write to save my life. Lucky for her, the writing center helped, me on the other hand complete waste of time. I think that’s what bothers me most, little assignments that don’t really help me.
