I am feeling nervous for this paper. I am confident in my idea, but I a worried about the research part. I'm not very good at weaving quotes in with my own thoughts. If it were up to me, Id' have a whole paper of my thoughts, but I do understand the importance of sources. I need to have the paper done this week because I will be gone this weekend, so I am really feeling the pressure. I just hope I can find really good sources that will fit seamlessly with my own writing. I know what I want to say, I just have to write and hope it will fill at least 10 pages worth. I need to more like those people that can write a ton and have to cut back on the content.

I also am feeling a lack of motivation if I'm being honest. I don't feel like an honors student. I feel like I have senioritis. It's really not good. How do you all get motivated?

  1. One piece at a time! I know that making some sort of an outline helps me to organize my thoughts. Once I have some method of organization I can usually go from there. I usually make sure to include where I want my sources in my outline as well.

    Honestly, just start with one piece at a time. When you break it down, 12 pages isn't a whole ton. You just need to gather your thoughts and start conversing with the information you have.
