I love writing papers for school. I really do. It's one of the few things that I can look back at when I'm done and feel genuinely proud of my work and feel like I've accomplished something noteworthy. I'm writing a compare/contrast book critique and I have never done it to the extent that I'm doing now. Still, through all of the panic and anxiety I'm enjoying the process somewhat. should be interesting to see what turns out.
Usually, I feel very opposite. One thing I'm really good at is BSing an essay, especially if the subject doesn't interest me at all. Even if it's something that I'm totally interested in, I usually end up quickly doing something, send it in, and usually get a good grade. For example, I did a paper talking about the connections of Harry Potter with Christianity, making an argument that it's good for Christian kids to read it and blah blah blah. There was so much I wanted to put into it, but by the time I actually wrote it, I just put in some stuff that seemed to fit. I've learned to use that to my advantage though; spend a lot of my downtime researching, so I don't completely go in blind when I write it the night before.
