Man, I’m starting to feel like my writing skills are becoming something to frown at. I got back a history paper today that I got a B on. Usually I don’t get B’s on my papers, but this time the professor gave me one because he thought it was a topic that I could have done more with. It was really hard to write a good paper on the topic he gave us, though, because there were two really contradicting ideas that he wanted us to write the paper about. I couldn’t write a very coherent paper including both of those ideas, so I guess I pretty much just chose one idea to base my paper on. I’ll probably go see the prof during his office hours this week so I can try to figure out exactly what it was he was looking for.

Well, at least good grammar is something I can still pride myself on.
