When I put my mind to it and actually take the time to write a paper, and I leave myself enough time to look over and edit everything, it generally won't turn out too bad. As it turns out, though, I have some serious time management problems. I never leave myself enough time to edit and revise my papers. I know that this is a bad habit, and I tell myself over and over again that I'll be better about it, but it doesn't ever turn out that way.
With my Poetry Analysis essay, I still have quite a few revisions to make. First of all, I have to make it longer. In my lack of time management, I ran out of time to really finish it. My conclusion isn't complete. I also have to expand on most of my paragraphs and fix the structure of my paper.

Great job being honest about your time management. I have the same problem as you. I find that when I'm stressed for time to meet a deadline I end up with a poorly revised paper.
ReplyDeleteHello Anna :)
ReplyDeleteI think you did a great job being honest about how you feel about your personal paper revisions. I feel like sometimes I get stressed out about them too and just feeling a little unease about the paper your about to write defiantly intimidates you. I hope you find time to focus on your writing and get your opinions across. A few more minutes on a paper can make all the difference.
It's great that you can be honest and know that you are not doing your best work when you rush. I know I do the same but I still end up disappointed with myself for not doing better. I know it is my own fault for not taking my time and effort to earn the grade. Your picture describes my feelings when I sit and try to get started on an essay. :)
