'member Susans's Class Back in Tenth Grade?

I remember Susan's class back in tenth grade? Men, I was so intimidate, and scared by her and her assignments. Every time she would tell us, "you have a paper due next week," I trembled! I was horrible at writing, so I knew that my weekend would be ruined by the paper I had to write. I mean I tried, but my essay were just not cohesive. They were always all over the place. When I would read them, I could tell that the sentences weren't fluid, but I would just turn in the paper however it was cause I would be tired of revising.

I mean I guess I should have used the didactic work sheets that were supposed to instruct us about how to write an essay. You 'member? The sheets that had the thesis, the three topic sentences and the prove. But sometimes I was just too indolent to do all that work, so I would just type the paper as it came to me. I tried to control it, but torpor would take over me at times.

It wasn't like that all the time, some time I was honestly listless, and I couldn't even try to work more. Feeling without energy or feeling lazy and the convoluted assignments we got from Susan were never a good combination.

Even though that year was hard, our tenacity helped us to get through the year. We weren't so great at writing, or at least most of us weren't, but look at where we are today. We have proliferated as writers. We should feel very proud. We have come so far, just take a second to remember how we were back then and how we are now.

Do you 'member how it was back then cause I 'member?
