PROFESSOR HAS WRITTEN BACK

Me: 

Okay, whatever. She’s got some free time to do shit like this 

Professor: 

You should use 1.5 space instead of single space. That might help. Also you’re doing well, working hard, here’s a couple more things that may help but overall, you’ve got enough.

Me: “Sounds fake, but okay.” 

Highlights doc and puts it at 1.5 pt font

Brief: 

I AM NOW 12 PAGES.

My Labyrinth essay for Heroic Literature.... would have had an A... if I’d handed it in on time. But I handed it in a day late, despite working on it months in advance, cause I got in a tizzy over one of my paragraphs. I could cry.... but I SHALL NOT! Good points. I got a B, 67% on it with the reduction! That’s great! It’s also a B on a literature essay! Which for me is a big deal! It would have been an A if I’d handed it in on time, which shows me I’m capable of getting A’s on bigger assessments, as before I’d only gotten A’s in Uni on smaller assessments. So this means I can do it! I know what I need to work on now to improve my essays!
