Writing

One of the things that I really dislike, still do, a little is having to write. I'd hate it if I was asked to write something related to work. The more pressure there was to write (like having to submit it to a head), the more I hated it. Not to mention I'd put it off and procrastinate. Going to grad school cured me a little of that. I remember Ms. Babes (may God rest her soul), she told me that if I hated doing it, I should learn to like it so that it won't be a long drawn out and painful process anymore and it was apparently something that I would a lot of anyways. She gave very good advice, and no wonder, she used to write for the Manila Bulletin and worked in the Philippine embassy back in the day. So, in my first grad school, I had a lot of reporting and writing to do. I had to write my report before reporting it in class. I had to do a lot of readings and summarizing that information. Later on, I appreciate the work that I had to do. Next, in my second masters degree, the same is true! We would write papers and it culminated in a case study. Writing it was not as bad as I'd expected and it was an experience that I really like since I basically talked about my whole experience and not just some testing that I had to do. It was more of a story of a child.

Now, gasp...I am back to a job where there are lots of writing. I have to write a report about a test, observations, fill out an entire Webform and then as icing on a cake, I have classes to take to clear my credential. For my first paper for my first online class, I labored long and hard about what I was going to say. After awhile, it just came to a point where I wrote, checked for grammar and spelling, checked for plagiarism (that's why I love PlagiarismChecker) and that's about it.
