Idea-less!

19 April 2011

Confusion does not even begin to describe my feeling towards the Literature Review! I understand that that you have to example my sources and synthesis them to prove my thesis. I just have no idea how to do so. It's not that the professor did not explain the assignment well, its just that I personally have no direction. I do not know where my paper is going. I've researched and thought about my stance on capital punishment, which has not changed, but I don't feel that I have a strong direction or more importantly a new understanding. This sucks! I hate writing but writing without a direction is dreadful! I have no passion or drive for this assignment, which is not helping me focus and write a kick-ass literature review. I fear that I'm wearing my self thin this quarter between all my classes and pray that it does not show! I can do this! This paper shouldn't be this hard, just start writing! Put pen to paper, or in the twenty-first century fingers to keysboard, and let the cursor guide you!

Love,
The Thunder calmed me, Aaron freaked me out!

  1. Dear Molly,
    Please breathe! This paper will not be the death of you. We will get through this together! Don't let the mass information throw you off, this has to happen since we only have class twice a week.
    Love, Katie
    P.S. If you die, can I have my coat back? (hahaha)

  2. I agree lol. I was feeling way better last class about the annotated bibliography, but then he brought in this literature review and I'm freaking out again! Hopefully Thursday he'll explain it some more. I'll feel like an idiot asking tons of questions, but oh well!
    Good Luck!
