In real life I am a student who is retaking English Composition 101.

You know, I consider myself to be a good writer, but I never managed to pass the first year Expository Writing course at Rutgers University. I just couldn't get my head around the subject matter I had to write about, and I was left with nothing to say. Eventually, that damn English course was the only thing standing between me and graduation. I eventually got special permission from the Dean to take a course titled "Scientific and Technical Writing" instead of that damn Expos class, and I ended up with an A in the course.

Anyway, welcome to LessWrong!
