In the past, I have been affected by anxiety when it comes to my writing, at least I am pretty sure. When it came to writing assignments, and I would accidentally leave them for the last minute, I would get anxious. However, this would cause me to completely hone in on my writing, and I would be able to complete the paper before the deadline, thankfully. I do not do this anymore because the feeling of being that anxious about completing an assignment on time sucks. I don’t think I have been affected by aversion really because sometimes the writing can be fun to do if it is interesting. I think a method that Eickmeyer recommends that I would use is to cap a time frame in which I want to write my paper so that way I am under less stress to finish the paper in one night.
I think that two worlds I exist between stem from my ethnicity(ies). I am mixed with European and Venezuelan blood, and throughout my life, I do feel sort of stuck. Like Ku, I was always the only one of this sort of mixture when it came to my student environments, even when my middle school was predominately hispanic, (the kids were all Mexican). Also I feel sort of stuck at home, due to the fact that I cannot speak Spanish anymore because I forgot the language many years ago. It has been hard to figure out who I really am and what I identify as (I mainly just say Latino because I technically am) and I am not the only one like this. A few friends I have had shared the same issue with me and we were able to somewhat connect that way.
I agree, writing can be fun sometimes.
I can relate to you a lot in terms of procrastinating assignments and getting anxious about them. It gets frustrating but once you do them, it’s like a huge weight is being lifted from your shoulders.
I can relate your middle school experience with my own experience. Yes, I agree with you about the two worlds collide can be two different cultures. However, these collide maybe delivered you here today. It sometimes frustrated me but however, these types of experiences help us to be stronger than before.
I feel the same way as you when it comes to doing work. Not all the time does this happen, but I do get a lot of anxiety when I leave work for the last minute.
