Cover Letter
I am still really iffy on this paper.. i think the word limit freaked me out a little bit. I feel as if i repeated a few of my thoughts too often. The basic gist of the paper however is: that for eternity, writing professionals have talked about how awful procrastination is, and that it is always always always harmful to your writing and your over all assignment. i do not agree with this claim, and that is what the paper is about. i want writing professionals to stop telling students to stop procrastinating, and start telling us how we can find out if we are in the group of people where procrastination would benefit us, and our writing. Like the past 3 papers, i really cannot tell if it is a ''good paper''. I know in my mind that all of my opinions and points in this paper are genuine and sincere, because essentially, the paper is about me and my road to finding my productive procrastinating-ness. And that is what is important to me, using my own experiences to benefit others writing and so my part to move the writing world along. I would like comments on the flow of the paper and if at any point i get off track/off subject at all. Thanks!
Happy week 10

Paper #4 Introduction 2.0

      I hope I never again witness such injustice as I did that fateful day in Mrs. Foley's 8th grade english class. We had a review due on Monday morning regarding the new school levy on the ballot. Mrs. Foley snaked through the aisles collecting the papers. For weeks she had been pestering us about starting our papers early and not waiting until the weekend, let alone Monday morning at 6 am to complete them. She claimed that there was no way anyone could possibly produce an adequate paper without properly preparing for and drafting it first. She claimed she would be able to simply read through the first paragraph and her 6th sense teacher senses would start tingling. I decided that I had a good enough grade in the class to test that theory.
