"Workshopping" our papers today! What joy. NOT!

My professor has us pass our papers around the class and let others critique our writing. This is not my favorite part of the process. I always feel like crawling under the table, but that is more humiliating than passing the papers around so I stay in my seat...:)

    What is it about criticism, however constructive, that just makes us (me in this case!) cringe? I never get horrid remarks, so you think it would be a piece of cake. But its not. Its like some bizarre twist of the "caught in your underwear in public" dream for me. Like speech class, but I don't have to talk. These things give me nightmares. But I wanted to go to school, so like it or not, I am learning things I don't like to learn!

     Pray for me, I need it today! :)
