Who here's in college?

Yup.

Who here writes essays?

Oh yeah.

What are you writing about right now? Anything you remember from the past? The worst one? The easiest? Are you slick with the words, Jack?

(edit: give it up for fucking titles in the ass. Would someone with The Glow go in and change the title so that the word "word" apprears right after "the"? K thx!1)

In college?

Yup.

Writing Essays?

Yup

What am I writing now? s'posed to be writing two. One on Alexis de Tocqueville and the other on Dracula, Amos Barton and The Beach of Falesa all rolled into one (haven't chosen the question yet)

The worst ever essay was probably back in college a couple of years back...A-level english, essay exam paper worth 60% of the grade and I bombed...got just over 50%. Couldn't get into Uni and had to resit year after. The best was next year when I took the same exam again and scored 100%

I'm okay at essays...this year I've been leaving them to the last minute...to the point where I have to pull an all nighter to get it written and typed up. Sometimes still end up adding the conclusions 1 hour before the deadline. I must be okayish with the words because I haven't gone below a 2:1 yet

Yes

Writing Essays?

Not anymore

What am I writing now?

this post

anyways, my essay writing days are over with the exception of one humanities class I still have left. other than that, unless I pursue another degree, I will not have to write another essay that really doesn't contribute anything to my line of work.

Yep..in college and writing essays. I've got a 3000 word essay due on Wednesday for psychology. Luckily the subject is somewhat interesting: evaluating the evidence for telepathy.
Hmm, I can't remember any tough essays off the top of my head. Although last semester I had to write 8 of them, two of which I left until the day before they were due. Yeah, I'm such a procrastinator.

In college. Writing essays. Essays suck.

The tough essays are the ones I think I'll do well on. The ones that I think I put nil effort into, I get the highest marks on. On the whole though I think I'm better with research papers than English evaluation crap.

I'm a sophmore in high school, but I do get my fair share of essays. The latest essay I've worked on was an argument of Gatsby as a Christ Figure. I don't think I did too well on it, but then again, I tend to underestimate the generosity of my English teacher.

I'm only in high school, but we have to write a bunch of stuff...today, we had to write an essay on courage, and we were only given 25 minutes. It's preparation for the stupid MEAP (standardized test, mandatory for all high school students in Michigan in 11th grade).

I'm in my final year of high school. I write essays in English, and find them to be easy.

Now if we would do less visual assignments. *curses teacher* I've spent more time working with colours that with words this past month.

I am a Freshman in High School. I have to write an essay on someone who is significant in America. I chose John D. Rockefeller because that was someone that nobody else would do in class.

The toughest essay? "If the south won the Civil War."

No, nevar! I SHALL NEVAR GIVE MYSELF UP TO WRITING THOSE HORRID THINGS(unless my grade's as stake)

What are you writing about right now? Anything you remember from the past? The worst one? The easiest? Are you slick with the words, Jack?

Eh, the last one I wrote about was something about eliminating PE from curricucum.

In and out. About two years down.

Who here writes essays?

During the English classes I had...quite a few.

Slick with the words, Jack? Riiiight...As for anything decent writing that I've had in the English classes that I've taken...none are really worth it. If I ever take another one it'll probably be a creative writing class just for the sheer fact that I hate being dropped in a topic I have no clue on and try to bullshit up something to get an A on the paper.

Technically, taking a semi-corresponding course

Who here is writing papers?

For high school

I'm currently putting the finishing touches on a paper on the significance of brain shunts in the medical world, and working on an essay connecting the spiritual similarities between Nick and Gatsby

An essay remains an essay, it doesn't really matter whether you're in high school or college...

I do write essays, although not as many as in high school, and not nearly as long (in french high school, we write the same amount of pages, except it's not double spaced ). I sometimes have a hard time writing in english, because as you're constructing an essay you sometimes need certain words to avoid ruining the flow of the text... They don't come to me as naturally as in french therefore I sometimes end up losing my time looking for words rather than actually writing the essay... I got 99th percentile on the english literacy test essay, meaning no grammar, spelling, structure errors... I believe that as long as you have all that correct all you need is to know how to answer the essay question

I just wrote an essay today, as a preperation for the allmighty Norwegian exam.

So, yes, I do write essays.

It was only 3 pages, but I think I did pretty well.
Let's just hope I actually did.

The worst thing about the stuff I have to write this year is that the teacher (who is about 65 years old) doesn't let us type them. We have to write a minimum 10-page story, by hand, in cursive.

Nope. Sopohmore in HS (2nd year)

Who here writes essays?

Unfortunately

What are you writing about right now? Anything you remember from the past? The worst one? The easiest? Are you slick with the words, Jack?

Cosmetics in Ancient Egypt / Huck Finn

Favorite of all time was a report I did on the Zulu war. It was so fun, I'll put it in my bio, because bios are useless anyway.

The worst was one on a utopian society, but it was in Middle School

Easiest, none are really that easy.

Slick with the words
You could say that.
