I looked through my old essays:

PAE – A (19/25)

JAE – B (16/25)

J1 – C

J2 – D, S

What went wrong? If the poems got harder, it means I didn’t improve fast enough. If they didn’t, something went wrong with my head.

I need to work on my language as well, something beyond regular expository writing. Perhaps the long absence of formal discussion and non-expository writing is to blame for my appalling phrasing, sentencing and vocabulary.
