^yeah, I can’t swallow my pride and write like that (peppering flashy vocabulary, etc.). I’m also a slow, deliberate writer who doesn’t usually manage time very well (e.g. spending 10 minutes thinking about the prompt), so my essays tend to fill up only 1 1/2 pages and have no conclusion, which is why I can never get 11-12 essays

now that I think about it, it’s amazing that I even got a 9 with an essay like that
