Assignment 2
I am feeling very overwhelmed at assignment two.  We were given an extension which I will be using to pare down my lit review.  Given our instructors description, I have gone way beyond what is needed.  I am feeling very panicked by this whole process.  At times I feel I am not doing enough, at times I feel I am obsessing too much.  I am already questioning my topic decision and find myself thinking of others.  I wonder if others are dealing with these feelings.  I am wondering if this will be my state of mind for this entire process.  Will I ever feel confident in my abilities as a student?  I think my fears stem from the fact that writing is my weak point.  If we had to do an oral presentation, I would be less stressed, I believe.  I feel much more confident in my ability to speak eloquently that I do in writing effectively.
