me: I mean, if it was just cramming thoughts on paper in an hour-long essay test, that I can do if I don't need to recall any information, like Mr. Mitzack's physic class essay tests

but this is like, limit it to 3 pages, and do research and quote people!

and they give us so much material to work with I just seem to barely get all my thoughts on paper in a way I can understand them

I bet you can edit them with me and make them better

Gail: hmm maybe do your own thoguhts first, like mitsak, then go back and interject your research to justifly and back up your thoughts?

me: yup, that's what I've been doing

but I'm just so full of thoughts

I have to limit them when I start writing

or cut them out later

but just writing them down takes so much of my brain's energy

it's like, write 3 pages, wait a day, add reasearch, wait a day, edit it, wait a day, then final edit it with feedback

but this time it was like 42 pages of reading before the writing phase

Gail: maybe an outline to help limit or channel your houghts? and conserve your energy?

me: and my ideas, I have to write them down as soon as I think them or I forget

that's why I send you so much one-line emails

I do write an outline

and I do focus on the essay questions the prof writes
