Therapy Session For My Research Paper

I started my research paper looking for Wikipedia's credibility, but I found so many interesting articles on Wikipedia talking about the community and correlating it to Wikipedia's credibility, that I ended up changing a lot of my ideas. There are a lot of people criticizing Wikipedia, but they are failing to see that Wikipedia is just another step into a future where people will be able to learn faster based in community knowledge. In the other hand, students, and even professors and librarians are changing their perspective into the whole idea of individual authority. I feel exhausted by having to read so many articles that lead me to different question, that lead me to different articles that lead me to different ideas that lead me to a different paper. As time is passing, I sit here, changing paragraphs, adding different points of views, and even deleting and changing ideas. By the end of the day, I look at my paper, and I feel like it is still not enough.

After all, I will have to work on my ESL mistakes and try to make it sound more coherent. As I look into each paragraph, I feel like I could add much more information, but each paragraph is already enormous. Then, I think about dividing each paragraph in half, but the ideas are all connected and it feels like it is not right to make each paragraph short, when there are still so many more ideas I could add into it.


On one hand, I am very tired since it is a time consuming task, but in the other hand I know that I’ve been learning so much with this research paper. I am gaining a lot of experience, and I am learning how to analyze in my own research from the experience of the other researchers, and the surveys they have done. I am also getting experience searching for research articles.

I have to admit that I am also frustrated with the fact that every time I try to make an appointment in the Writing Center, they are full. I think that there should be more people working there.

Ok… now, that I am done with my therapy session, and Nathalia is already asleep, I better get back to my research paper before I run out of time…
