Feeling a tad bit fuzzy

When we were first "assigned" or told about our first research paper, I knew exactly what topic I wanted to write about. I had been working on this subject for a week or so and had written a few entries on it already. This topic (The differences Between Boys and Girls) excited me and I couldn't wait to write about it. I was not only interested in it, but it was something I knew I could write about and catch other people's interest as well. However, I am stumped right now. As we come upon our second research paper, I seem to find myself in a bit of a rut. I've gone through my blogs all night and nothing seems to catch my eye. Oh what to do!

It never occured to me (until now) that I don't have to write about something that is already in my blog. I mean, it was I who said "It's best to go out of the box" and "College is all about taking risks." I suppose this can related to my papers as well. Now that we've completed our first papers, I feel like we should have somewhat of an idea of how to write a good paper. Am I correct when I say this? Are we supposed to have a greater knowledge of what a good paper is? I understand that our papers should show improvement, and I'm sure everyone's paper will...even if the improvement is something small, such as better grammer. I think my problem is that I am thinking too much about the paper. With the first paper, I went about things with ease because I loved the topic I was writing about. With this paper, I don't have a topic right off, and this kind of scares me! I definitely have a lot of thinking to do. I am hoping that something or someone will come into my life soon inspire me to write an amazing paper!
