...I don't have anything against essays all that much. Sure they're a pain in the ass to write, but other than that I'm pretty good at writing them. And being the kind of writer I am, I always go over the limit of pages given. Like, if a professor wants eight pages, I'd end up giving him 14 or something like that.
Also, I passed both of my rhetoric classes without doing the final paper because I didn't feel like it and because I did so well throughout the class beforehand. Actually, in RHT 160 I did the paper but I did the morning it was due and it was so much absolute bullshit that I don't really see it counting. Hell, the professor didn't either but I still passed.
Ask about me.
Peace.

Ugh, that's gotta suck, Galatea. In a situation like that, it's probably best to just start writing whatever comes to mind and rework it later.
However, I'm probably not the best person to take advice from, as I despise writing of most any kind, though I've been told I am a good writer. Seriously, I'll do everything in my power to put off writing a paper as long as I can.

Sterilize everything you used. Bam, 14 words, done. |

You know what's fun?
Having to write a 10,000 word essay on analyzing Wuthering Heights from a deconstructionist point of view. It's kind of simple if you've read the book, but 10,000 words? C'mon, that's pushing it.
Also, having to do this tacked on with reading a collection of Native American Oral Literature, some Washington Irving, Phillis Wheatley, Sigmund Freud, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and a 50-page chapter on revision, in which is then followed by the forced writing of a 5 page short story.
And that's just a weekend's worth of work. And I'm only an undergrad. And Ford knows how it will be in Grad school.

I don't "hate" essays as long as I'm writing about a topic that interests me (however considering I rarely get assigned anything interesting they can be a real pain). I'm a freshman in college now, and damn, it is like learning to write all over again. MLA isn't my favorite, but once you get used to it...at least you'll live through it.  |

MLA has parenthetical notation, right? I always found that a bit easier to work with than footnotes, but it's the style I'm more used to anyway.
And talk about something I hated, Wuthering Heights. I only saw the movie, but Jesus, I could imagine myself coming up with quite a bit to deconstruct that piece. Not 10,000 words worth, but still more than I'd usually manage to write.

And being the kind of writer I am, I always go over the limit of pages given. Like, if a professor wants eight pages, I'd end up giving him 14 or something like that. This, unless its absolutely a useless one and has some obscenely low required page amount. Which is rare, also those two things usually happen in conjunction |
