Two new revised essays

Just revised two of my essays, and I am curious as to how they would make a reader perceive me. I am looking for comments more on the emotional/visceral impact, not necessarily grammar, though that would be nice as well. Thanks!

Gaffe O had to break my second essay into two parts, so I sent you the first, and then when I went to send the second part, you once again had too many messages haha. Thanks though! Anybody else?

Yup... that's a problem of mine.
