First Essay Experience
My first official college essay has been an interesting experience. The MLA format and I have never been friends. In fact, we're not even acquaintances. Despite my and MLA's relational challenges, I managed to cope. I had a bit of writer's block early on in my writing process. (Judging by the length of some of my previous posts, it may sound impossible.) I finally decided on the descriptive essay on my favorite place as a child. I wrote about the woods behind my grandparents' house. Coming up with colorful, appropriate descriptions was more challenging than I anticipated. When the essay was finally finished, formatted, double-checked, and triple-checked I printed it out to turn in. The process for writing this essay was stressful, but it also provided me with a trip down memory lane, which I enjoyed very much.

I love how you personified MLA. I cannot say that MLA is a dear friend of mine either, but we find ways to work together. my relationship with APA is worse. I love the descriptive words you use even in the blog about your descriptive essay :) I can relate to the writer's block, it usually helps me to write about something else and then eventually a new idea for the original topic will come to my mind.
