My EN101 teacher ruined me. I used to be able to cram-write papers a few hours before their deadline, but now I can't. I used to be able to write papers without thinking about what the teacher will make of it; now, all I could think about is my perceived audience. GAH.

My teachers aren't a factor whenever I write up lab reports, because science is science: you're either right or you're wrong. But writing reflection papers for Theology (the latest of which I haven't started yet, damn it) and psychological analyses for PSY 103 and PSY 104 are making my "what-will-my-teacher-think-about-my-paper" fears rear up their collectively ugly heads.

And can I just say that Existential Psychology belongs more to a Philosophy class? It's really difficult to apply the theory to real-life situations. It doesn't help that the terms used by Biwsanger and May are also used in semiotics -- now I'm having horrific flashbacks of sleepless nights trying to figure out Roland Barthes' Mythologies.

Don't sweat about the audience too much. It usually just means to watch out for words that usually aren't used by them.

Those were the good old days, I think! Now, we pass the papers and they're graded right away. Before, we could just pass whatever because there were several drafts done. >_
