grrr

Writing a research paper has to be one of the most frustrating things that I am going to do this semester. Just trying to figure out a topic, first of all, is difficult in itself. Then actually trying to find research that supports the things you are trying to say and helps you to sound actually somewhat smart is a pain…and SO time consuming! It is easy to sit in the library at hours at a time and not find anything useful…trust me, I know!! And then actually trying to find 8 pages of information could probably kill someone…just kidding. But it is obnoxious. It’s just hard trying to sound so official and correct all the time. And there are the introductions..and even worse, the conclusions. I’m having so much trouble getting my conclusion exactly the way I want it! I seem to summarize and state exactly what I have been saying for the past seven and a half pages. It doesn’t help when that is the way we were taught all through high school. It is really hard to adjust to being interesting with a paper that could potentially be so boring. The practice today in class, though, helped me a lot in trying to figure out what I am trying to tell the audience. I guess my biggest problem just has to be getting what I am thinking actually down on paper the way it is in my mind.
