Day 130: February 26

I cannot write essays. I have been at high school for 3 years and I've written at least 9 essays (probably more) and I still cannot write them. I think it's because it's structured writing. I don't have problems with just writing, but when it comes to following a plan, no. My main problems are the topic sentence and the linking sentence (which I hardly include anyway), and then just putting it altogether. For some reason, I find it really hard to write a topic sentence. I don't know why, and in theory it should be the easiest because it's pretty much a summary of what you're writing. Anyway. 3 years down, 3 years to go. (At least I've got still analyses down pat).
