So, I’ve managed to keep up with my school work so far. One of my challenges was writing essays. I consider myself a writer, but I just hate the essay format. Let me write a quick bitch about politics, or ramble on about my uneventful life. But attempt to explain an idea logically?

Yeah, ah — no!

Anyway, I finally got myself motivated to write my first chapter essay. Thankfully the internet really has revolutionized studying. I can submit a draft of my essays for evaluation before actually turning them in to the instructor, i.e., the auto-grader. I get 5 attempts at having them reviewed. Well, to my surprise I managed a 75 percent score on my first attempt. Which, by the way, is the expected score for exams.

Huh.

I am not even done with revisions. I hadn’t even started when I submitted it for review. Seriously, I’m shocked.

Anyway, the plan is to listen to the online lecture after work. Then I have a third chapter to read. I’m also hoping to get that essay spruced up.

See, on top of having it evaluated, I have resources to educate me further on the writing of essays. So, I’m hoping to take advantage of them.

I’m loving school so far.
