<p>I've been reading all these posts by people who made a spelling error or some other inconsequential mistake on their essays, but haven't found the answer I'm looking for. </p>
<p>I have a serious problem with word limits, and had to cut my 300-word Pton essay down from 900. In the process, I cut a sentence that lends my essay a certain... uh, understandibility. Basically, I'm talking about this teacher's class and how his extemporaneous essays were unlike anything else I'd ever had. I used to have a sentence that set the time as the night before my first essay test with the guy (something like "It was the night before my first essay test and blah blah") , immediately followed by a string of thoughts on how I was anxious about potentially disappointing the guy. I then discuss how I walked in the classroom the next day and read the prompt and so forth. </p>
<p>But that sentence that says "It was the night before my first essay test and blah blah" got cut, so it's basically me discussing the essays kicking collective ass -> me saying I admire the teach and don't want to disappoint "the next day" -> me walking into his room. I'm not sure it's easy to follow without that one line setting the scene. </p>
<p>So am I screwed? Is it just more obvious if I try to call/e-mail them for the sake of a sentence? Why am I a total idiot?</p>
