Writing Skillz?

Let this be a testimony of Trumbull High School's amazing English department:

A couple weeks ago I had a 3-page paper due for American Heritage. Problem: I didn't realize this/find out until about one hour before class. Needless to say, I was panic stricken. Somehow - I have no idea how - I actually managed to whip out 3 pages in that one hour, print it out, and hand it in. Great, right?

Hahahahaha...no.

I think I can honestly say that it's the worst piece of writing I've done since Rizza. If any of my teacher's back at THS read it I'd get a failing grade for sure. D: So for these past two weeks I've been panicking, dreading getting this essay back. For one, because I didn't want to see the bad grade that I knew I deserved; for another, I was legitimately ashamed of having written that paper, putting my name on it and claiming it (albeit reluctantly) as mine. I felt so ashamed imagining the TA's reading it: much as they get on my nerves, I don't want them thinking poorly of me because of that paper.

Well, we got it back to today. And what did I get?

92.

Ninety-two.

:O

I was actually kinda mad; I KNOW I don't deserve that grade!!! Like, I am legitimately agonizing over this thing!! I'm this close to losing respect for the TA's, because they gave me a good grade on a bad paper. There is no substance to it. I know, I wrote it! It's meaningless fluff! Seriously, it's one of those papers where even thinking about reading it over, even to see their comments, makes me cringe. I'm very self-conscious about my writing. ><;

The main comment my teacher put at the end of The Mess?

"My TA is right. There could be more analysis in your discussion, and less "reporting." Still, you are a strong writer, and there is much of value in your paper. Keep up the good work."

GAH!!! *cringe*

This is what I don't understand!!! He realizes it's all fluff, so is my grade based on my writing skills??? That's a paradox!!! You can't be a strong writer if you don't actually have a POINT to your argument!!!! *sweatdrop* Entirely illogical!

And yes, I am complaining about getting a good grade.

...I would love to see Rizza's reaction...
