A First For Everything

I am sitting here at the library writing my English paper when it dawns on me, this is actually the first college paper I have ever written.  Even in high school I only did 3 papers at the most, and they were all 2 page book reviews. All of the writing I have done in the past ten or so years has really just been rambling, unedited babble.    Now that I am aware of the critical eye my writing will have on it, I must admit, I am a little nervous.  I've already had some great feedback at home. Though this means that now I find myself being overly critical of every comma I even consider placing.
I realize it has been a long time since I was in an official learning environment, but I still have high expectations of myself.  I am trying hard not to be too disappointed with myself for  thus far failing to achieve the standard I set for myself.
