Work on the Weekend

This weekend it seems like I have been doing things at an alarmingly fast pace. It is like I have so much work to do. And since I have no idea when this baby could come--she could be days early or days late--I want to get it all out of the way. So I have written a resume, a cover letter, three-page paper, and done a poster for ACAD.

And all that I did yesterday. And now I have been trying to start on this self-reflection essay for English. Going into it, I thought, this will be the easiest paper I do. It is actually difficult for me to come up with what I want to say. I mean I don't know how I have changed as a writer. I still use my same technique for the most part, and I just get the assignment done because I know it has to be done. Then I know it is supposed to be written like a letter. So do I say, "Dear Wendy" or "Dear Mrs. Sumner" or "Dear Mrs. Sumner-Winter" or "Dear Instructor" or what?? I can't even get past that part! It's frustrating. Everything else I have had to do for my other classes is so specific or so mindless that it did not take so much thought or so much time. But this thing is like a monster that keeps growing in the back of my mind. Then we have to cite specifics from our writing. It is hard to decide what is good and what is bad in your own writing. If I didn't feel like it was good, I wouldn't have included it in an essay in the first place. Oh well, I don't know. I will get it done eventually, I guess. But right now I just need to breathe!!
