Holy crap! Are you serious?? To be honest with you, I don’t think I could ever write a “good” 5 paragraph essay in just 60 minutes. The other essays that I have wrote for this class literally took me at least 1 day. I would read it over and over, critiquing and changing it 10 thousand times until I was somewhat satisfied with it. I am not good with words; I sometimes put paragraphs out of order and add a lot of crap that probably shouldn’t even be in there. So writing a 5 paragraph essay to me sounds very intimidating, it makes my heart race and my mind fill with many busy thoughts! I wish I were more prepared because as of right now I’m thinking how is Mr. Goldfine ever going to like this essay compared to all of the other essays he probably never liked either! So what’s the deal doc’? You had better prescribe me some frickin’ good meds (or yourself, considering you’ll be the one reading it) because this one’s going to be a bad one!
Uh, well, I thought you'd give me a reaction to doing it, not a prediction about how awful bad it was going to suck.
ReplyDeleteHere's what I've found: after a certain point, thinking, worrying, and fussing are just no damn use and the best thing to do is sit down and let wail. Try it--I'm getting good results with my live classes--and your final will be a timed two-hour five graf essay so it's time to start getting ready.
