Due to the incredible wall of frustration I was faced with when writing the first paper I immediately began to dread the second. After receiving the prompts for the second paper though and brainstorming a bit about it already I can say the dark cloud above my head is clearing up! All I’ve achieved so far is a tangled mess of my thoughts while we frantically wrote down everything that came to mind during class. Just this small edge is all I need though to approach this paper full throttle.

I think most of my troubles with the first paper was the fact that I was too close to it, it was too personal a subject for me to easy write about for a school assignment. My mind is much more focused going into this paper and that relieves a lot of the stress of writing it. Now all I have to do is sift through that furst burst of ideas and opinions and zero in on exactly what I want to write about.
