enamouredI have a bit of a perfectionism problem, even though I don't necessarily want to admit to it. I don't like having to redo things. You know how you write essays and you have to edit them? I don't like doing it. I know it's necessary and everything, but I don't like it. I like to think I've got things done right the first time around, even though more often than not I've done something wrong. I don't like admitting defeat and saying that I need help. I hate to admit that. I'm saying this because I'm putting the finishing touches on an essay for my next class and UGH, it's frustrating me because I'll have to rewrite the whole thing if it's not good enough, and I don't want to do that.
I suck a writing essays. Well, no, I don't suck. They are just difficult for me to do. Starting them and coming up with a thesis is the worst part. I hate thesis statements. They haunt me. Then there's examples. I can do that. But… ugh, it's a big mess and while I always ended up getting great grades on essays (my favorite essay ever was my Joan of Arc paper for my senior theme last year; I worked my fingers off on that one), I just do not like writing them in the least. I'm more of a free-writing kind of girl.
I've gone and bored you all with my complaining about essays. I need a life. Desperately.
