Essay Freak Out

Jan 13, 2009 13:50

Why do I always pick the topics which have no secondary research behind them?! Ok so I'm doing a masters and they kind of like original research but I have confidence issues and that means that I have little confidence in writing something and believing that they will accept what I say just because I've said it.

I have been freaking out since last night, I woke up this morning terrified. I've been texting Katie back and forth and she's sort of calmed me down but I'm still semi-freaked out.

Why did I think I was smart enough for a masters? This essay seems harder than the last one in some respects but in others I can BS parts of it. Like the section on the children of inter-racial marriage being rejected by society because they are different, I can write that without even thinking about it. And I have the Edalji case and the short Sherlock Holmes story to back that up. But ahhhhhhh!

It's due in on friday. BUT I have another radio job at the BBC tomorrow, which is just an hour but still, it takes up time. And Audrey called me saying I'm getting offered time and half overtime, which I never get because I'm part time, for doing this underfunding stuff. So I'm going to do some hours tomorrow night so that'll cut in to writing time a little. But Q wants me to go down to London to visit her because she is 'bored' so the extra money can fund that and I can go see her in Feb, perhaps. Once I get back from the SIF meeting tonight I need to complete the research part and attempt to write parts of the essay.

Maybe once I have parts written up it'll help. It kind of did with the Scots Landscapes one. Ahhh! Bloody British Places class, I look forward to Canadian Literature and Visions of Suburbia in semester two.

And! Happy Birthday to my dearest Bunny! I will hopefully speak to you tonight but presents shall be late due to stupid essay. :( I love you.
