Sitting in front of the TV like usual...

I should be writing an outline comparing Sigmund Freud's "Second Lecture" and Nathaniel Hawthorne's "Young Goodman Brown" and then, using that to write a two page essay - single spaced, 12 pt, Times Roman.
Instead, Im watching President Obama speak about health care reform...

Im an old dog trying to remember old tricks towards writing an English paper, any paper. I am in my freshman year at BMCC and I have been out of school for many years. How do I begin? What idea do I run with? So here I am, stuck, overwhelmed for sure, I have until Friday to write this paper. I have been avoiding it for days because it scares me. I am fine with class participation, but writing scares me. Do my thoughts really count? Has this paper been written over and over? I know the paper itself has nothing to do with it's content, but it is about whether I can write comparatively. This is difficult.

Who would heckle the Presidential Address?
Finally, the Republicans stand for the President.

I have to get away from this awesome distraction and move on to my struggle. Maybe if I start writing about anything, everything here, it will help me with my college life.
