Pre-Research Paper
As I start the pre-write of my
research paper I feel full of anxiety. There is something about the before of a
major project that I think is the worst part about the whole assignment. Once I
have started my research paper and start hacking away at it, and getting into a
writing groove I know I will feel so much better with less anxiety, (of course
there is still anxiety in waiting for the final grade). I also feel optimistic
in my pre-write, mostly because I have not come to any halts or bumps in the
road. Now that I have self evaluated how I feel about this research paper of
mine I guess its time I start the thing!

The best thing anyone ever told me about that kind of anxiety is that you have to tell yourself that you aren't going to feel better until it's done. And he was absolutely right. Every time I have a deadline and I really want to take a little time for myself before getting started, I start telling myself that. It's almost my mantra.
