The comma in the title of this thread is painful.

That's an apostrophe.

So it is.

Are you pondering what I'm pondering?

Are you pondering what I'm pondering?

The dichotomy of good and evil?

I like writing essays ,actually. As long as I'm not pressed for time, so I have to start early :P My old language arts teacher gave us something called 'in-class essay tests.' Like, she would give us 5 topics and we would need to prepare an outline for each one of them.

On the day of the test, she would pick a random topic and we would need to write an essay on it (on laptops) in like 50 minutes.

I've written only one real essay. The essay was on homosexuality and I got an A on it. It wasn't too terrible going through the writing of it, and my teacher praised me for it (and of course I wrote it on the night it was due).


Was a total wreck when doing the speech though. D:

I despise them insofar as they directly challenge my ineptness at time management. So I'll end up leaving them until the night before. Research papers are different. I will do the research far in advance and begin writing the paper (depending on the length) a week or two before it's due. Right now I'm currently done researching and began writing my 25+ page research paper on American religious views during the Revolutionary period in Russia, just prior to Lenin's New Economic Policy. I'm also devoting a small portion of the paper to the rural/urban dichotomy of Orthodox influence within Russia during this time since most of the primary literature in that field is in Russian.

So yeah, I enjoy typing and researching as long as I'm given time and its something that interests me. Response papers or prose just irritate me, though.

I guess it won't really do for me to hate them, since I do three essay subjects (English, Drama, History). So I wind up having a lot of them to write and usually, well, I guess I do like it. It's difficult for me to get started on them, though, writer's block is always worst with the introduction. With enough coffee in my system I can splurge on and on and on and on though... I wish we had to do more coursework style papers where you have lots of time to write in without having to be "SUCCINT". I hate the exam constraints. :E

I was always pretty good at writing essays so they didn't really bother me all that much. The only thing I found hard was the introduction, so I used to do that part last. When I did my art course, we had to do essays that were around 4000 words long, so you had to make sure you chose a topic that you could ramble about.

I don't hate them and I usually do well in them, but I take forever to start them.

[Martyr]

Actually, it is in my job description to write essays.

I wrote 3 of them today.
