UGH Road blocks to success!

Oh man. I'm almost through my second college English course. I am a natural writer, I've always loved to express myself through the written word. However, the mechanics of it all has always eluded me. This class has been difficult, in that there has been two major papers required that count for much of the grade. I chose a touchy topic for my second one, and have to try to approach it objectively. It is too late now to change my topic, but I'm stuck. I am required to "speak" in third person, totally refraining from first person language. This is very difficult since the topic touches me personally. I guess I'm just wondering if anyone else here is dealing with struggles in their study? What do you do to get past it? How do you handle deadlines and due dates? Do you have any words of encouragement? Thanks in advance.
