I should be writing my second essay of the week now, but I am not. I am not because I'm easily distracted as fuck by anything that is even remotely more interesting than schoolwork right now. Actually, scratch that. It doesn't even need to be more interesting, it just has to be everything else but an essay.
This is a summary of how a essay is written by a girl who hasn't written proper argumentative essays in forever.
1st hour: Introduction paragraph.
2nd hour: A fully developed point. Fully, if your standards are low.
3rd hour: Editing the 2 paragraphs I have written.
4th hour: Barely starting on my next point.
5th hour-6th hour: The integral parts of the essay + a shitty conclusion. Because I don't have the discipline in me to draft a concise and well thought out concluding paragraph to make them not sound like a rushed and annoyed summary of the things I've already mentioned.
And I usually have no recollection/don't know what the hell I am talking about right after I finish the essay.
The author’s viewpoint, although poignant, is not exclusive to China alone. A country’s national interests are ever changing, and a state’s identity is always an identity in progress. This means that a country’s position and outlook in the international society is not one that is fixed and static, and that makes the uncertainty of a country’s intentions applicable to almost every country worldwide. However, if a country’s national interests are not in tandem with that of the international system’s, it would most probably erupt in aggressive foreign policies and internal instability within the country, possibly even leading to forceful intervention and wars waged by the global community.
What the?
I think most of my essays are probably 20% semi-developed thoughts and 80%...bullshit and the ability to sound very vague and insightful at the same time. Because I have very little insights. Aiya I didn't study the topic thoroughly enough to be writing an essay about it so...just anyhow whack kekeke.
Just to reiterate, this post is essentially me procrastinating work. Perhaps the essay will write itself tomorrow? I am ready to give in to the latest episode of Criminal Minds already.
