Essayssssssssssss

So I am in the middle of writing an essay... and I have an English Major... this should be easy then right??

I have had so many people tell me "your lucky that your an English Major, it's easy for you to write essays". My response.. "it is?" I have never thought writing essays was easy, actually it is probably one of the hardest things I have ever faced. I can honestly say that I dislike writing essays especially if it's on a topic that I am not interested in. I remember having to write an essay like everyone else in the class on the same novel we were all reading. That is one thing that I didn't make my students do during my internship. For example my students completed book reports and presentations on the book of their choice. I allowed choice for all projects and that's what I think is important. Anyways back to my rant... I hate trying to write an essay that I don't want to write because I feel that I add unnecessary quotations into the essay just to fill it.

I would rather verbally express something rather than have to write it down. This essay I am working on is taking wayyyy longer than expected because I am so uninterested. My goal is to finish this essay by Weds and then continue the ECMM one. I am glad that we were able to choose our topic for ECMM. At least I know that essay won't be a drag.... :)

But I better get back to working on this essay... that is about half done. Here's the way I see it if teachers want their sudents to write an essay on something that they themselves would never write an essay on, then it's completely unfair for students...

Oh and great game last night Huskies!! :)
