Reaction Paper

Okay, today I need to write my reaction paper for my Comparative class, and it will be the first written assignment I'm handing in to any of my classes.  So obviously I'm freaking out a little and probably over-thinking it, but I want it to be good enough to establish that I at least know what I'm doing...somewhat.  And that I can write well.  Which...I hope I can.

Only problem is that I don't really know what to write; he usually wants us to critique the readings and come up with our own point, but for one I don't really have a critique, because I agreed with a lot of it, and another...I need to go over again because it sort of confused me.  Besides, if our criticism does not change the author's conclusion, then it really does not matter, and we should not even bother with that point of ours.

I was thinking of writing about two of the books and saying how one makes up for the deficiencies of the other...though that requires me to really know what both of them are saying.  One is not that difficult, but the other one is based heavily in economics, so some parts went over my head a little, since I usually stay away from that subject.  But they obviously go together, both talking about the formation of institutions and how we should look at them and why.

Either way, I'll need to figure something out before tomorrow's class.  Actually, I really need to figure it out by tonight, since I am required to send it to everyone, also.

Maybe I'll just stay in my office after office hours until I'm finished with it.  (Though I hope I can find time to work out today with this and other readings I'm supposed to do.)

I'm freaking out a little over it, but I always do for assignments, especially first ones, so that's not surprising.


Also, I'm thinking about getting these Sennheiser headphones because maybe I can ignore certain people better while wearing them.  They're only around $21, too!  So not the best that Sennheiser has to offer (but according to reviews, these are still really good), but I don't need anything super top-quality/professional.
