I'm sorry, but it's true -- Research Paper Drives Me Crazy!

I am exhausted.

I have been writing my research paper for hours, because I write very slowly, and I can't help writing off topic. It seems like I have gone too far away from my argument, and I lose directions. But there is always stuff that I do not want to throw out, because I consider every detail equally important and can contribute to my argument. I know, it doesn't work that way... I should selectively choose the details to prove my argument, but I just don't want to cross out my paragraphs at this moment.

So, I decide to write everything down first, and then narrow it down after I finished the paper. Maybe by then I can see the distractions and will not be so reluctant to throw stuff out.

I wish I had more time for this paper, but it's partly my fault because I am a good procrastinator who didn't start writing until Friday night, and I still have to do a lot of research after I did the annotated bibliography.

I know such a short period will not produce any decent research paper, so my only hope is to try my best to have my thoughts down, and revise the paper later. It's good that the first draft will undergo peer reviews.

OK... go back to my paper now.

Good luck everyone on your papers!

Don't lose hope. I'm feeling tired too, but at least this is just our first draft so we'll have lots of time to go over and redo things.

My research paper is driving me crazy as well. It seems just when I think I've finalized my thesis I find that I don't like it and I want to change it. I'm glad there is only a draft due this week. Hopefully I can pull it together so it at least makes sense.

Good Luck!

Flattery will get you nowhere, folks.

Why does procrastination make some people productive? Maybe stress just makes people work harder?
