I have never been a fan of having my paper peer reviewed. I always feel like I don't give out good advice because English has never been my strong suit. Not to mention I hate when my paper isn't as good as the one I am reading. This last time was no exception. I guess knowing that a fellow peer will be reading my paper gives me some incentive to do a better job this time around but I still dread handing over my paper to be ripped apart.
Some dialogue going through my head:
I handed over my paper to Jessica. I accept Erika's paper. As I read my own I glance up to see a small smile spread across Jessica's face. Maybe this won't be so bad after all. Oh snap. This paper is awesome. I don't think anything needs to be changed. I sure hope she is okay that I'm not going to give much constructive criticism. Oh, what is this? Jessica liked my paper. She thought it was funny. Woot I did a good job. I guess having someone else read it is not half bad.
I dont think that it needs to be changed, I just need to be a more confident writer. So I just need to work harder.
