Yeah...I'm probably going to fail english class

The teacher wants us to write an essay, in the Rogerian style of argument, 4-7 pages long. Mine is on the topic, Legalization of Gay Marriage.

And...it's hopeless. I wrote my first paper on that and it turned out pretty good. But this new style she sprung on us, I have no clues about. I don't even know how to start the damn paper. And, at this point, I'm ready to just except a 0 for it and let that be it.

I'm not even sure why I chose to go back to school, it's completely obvious that I have no clue what I'm doing and should have just stuck with my life in retail.

I'm going to bed now. With any luck, maybe I won't wake up tomorrow.

Stop that. You CAN do this and you will. It sounds like you have a topic and know how to use the style. Put aside your feelings about those who don't agree with you and let your own prejudices sit this one out (very hard for me to do so I understand if it's hard for you) and give it your best shot. Perfection isn't expected, just that you're learning the technique. If you get to turn in a draft first then you're half-way home. The prof will be looking to see if you listened to their critique and made changes based on that, do that and you'll be fine.

YOU CAN DO THIS!!!!!!!

Turns out the first draft was for peer review, the prof didn't even read it. But, I got the paper done. It's nowhere near perfect, but it's finished and it's in the correct format, so I'm counting this a win.

Thank you for the support, it was much needed. *hugs*
