I am not used to this. Sure, I rant to a few people(poor souls) about my day and what I did or saw or heard. But I don't post statuses on Facebook, I don't write blog posts, I do not usually voice my opinions for the whole wide world to hear.

Maybe its a confidence problem. I always feel very embarassed when others read my writings, whether it be teachers or peers (especially when they're reading it right in front of me and I could see their eyeballs moving and their brains processing every word I wrote.). Even when sending an email to my brother I will reread my email several times and rewrite every other sentence before I click 'send'. Sometimes even I feel funny reading my own writings.

Or maybe I'm just not so good at expressing myself. Words do not come easily. I think in Chinese and I think I subconciously translate them into english. Then I guess the only thing I can do is to practice.

That's why I took up a writing module. I know I would prefer not to write but I am going to force myself to do it. I want to be able to write like some of my friends. Phrases flow out of them like water out of a tap.

So here goes. 3000 words essay. Word count so far... well its still zero.
