Thought for Nought

Today I finally finished my first essay. It could be a maximum of 10 pages, but I was well over 12 pages before I was done with my first draft. After condensing it down, I still was quite a bit over. It hurt, but I had to wholesale erase an entire section of my paper out. All that work and thought for nought, but it would have taken even more work to pick bits and pieces out of the entire essay. After finishing my first essay, I started my next one. I have currently been in the computer lab all of my waking hours today except while I was eating and when I went back to my room for a couple minutes to get stuff for working on my next essay.
