I'm writing a paper that's due at the end of the month. Topic: social networking used to market the library. Pretty good topic, especially in today's world, right? Sure.
I'm having a bear of a time because 1) I haven't written a research paper in forever, 2) there is SO much stuff out there about this topic, and I'm not sure what to weed out, and 3) I feel like a bumbling fool, just reading and making notes...and not sure if I'm even on the right track for this paper.
Blech.
I'm sure all will be fine in the end, but man, I hate not knowing if I'm doing the right thing. I hate that "free fall" between getting the assignment and getting your grade. It's all up in the air.
Okay, off to get ready for Mass...DH and I are going early to do confession today. I haven't been in a few weeks, and before then, I hadn't been since before the wedding! I used to not like confession, and actually didn't go for years...but I think when you have a priest who doesn't make you feel like a jerk, it's better.

I am embarrassed to say that I cannot remember the last time I went to confession. . . sophomore year in college? :\
Are you going to start with an outline for your paper? Those always made it so much easier for me. I hate the citing part of papers. . . but I am such a nerd and generally love researching and writing them. That being said, it's been over six years since I've written them!
Ha, I didn't go ANYTIME in college. No way.
As for the paper, the thing is, I have an annotated bibliography due this week...before I've even written the paper, so it's like, I have to know what sources I'm going to be using...before I do anything at all! Lots of reading and deciding. Blech.
