Brain Storm

Ever since the end of Wednesday's class have been racking my brain in trying to know how to start writing. So far I have just been putting down my thoughts, and this has helped. I just do not know how to organize it all. I also am having a hard time knowing how to pull out key points. I feel silly saying such things. It just goes to show you how much of a perfectionist I am. Well, it is not really perfectionism, it is just the fear of falling behind and having to spend 24 hours awake with no sleep.
This is exactly how I felt my first semester in English class. I was so afraid that I would fall behind and get a bad grade that I worked on my papers night and day. The hard work paid off, but it took a hard tole on my body. This semester has been a bit easier, but I am still afraid that because I do not have the same kind of fear to drive me that I will not have the discipline to get my work done. All of these feelings have have had a rather negative affect on my performance. I get intimidated and do not want to start. Nevertheless, I have been trying to work through. I am not doing the best at it, but I at least keep going.
With Hamlet, for instance, this is the first time I have been absolutely clueless about where to start. I do not understand how to argue any of the points on the topic sheet. I picked the 4th one because I thought I saw some connections, but it is still pretty tricky. I just need to keep writing. It would help if I could read some examples. They always get me thinking.
