Been a VERY long time since I've been daunted by the thought of writing something. Give me fiction to write anyday, but please don't make me write a structured essay!
*cries*
I haven't had to write one of those since getting my GED. And before that I'd hardly written any since middle school because I did non-credit homeschooling throughout high school.
So now I have two of my first college essays (in Western Civ.) looming over my head and I'm about to worry myself to death over them. Well, at least one of them anyway. I'm horribly rusty, but I'm sure with the help of my mother on one of them (thank GOD for my mother...I knew her profession as a tech editor/writer would come in handy one day!) it will turn out okay. She'll be more than happy to tear it apart for me if it's not up to her standard. It's really the other one I'm worried about because I actually have to write it in class as part of our first test.
At least he gave us the essay question early, so I can have time to at least think about it and maybe work out a rough draft that I can go by when I actually have to write it. But still, just want it to be over with...
My test is Thursday, so I still have plenty of time to worry about it.
