I printed out the editors' comments on my essay. They seemed to have the idea to use two editors - one for all the positive reinforcement and one for the constructive criticism. In all, it wasn't as bad as I anticipated.
I happened to scan through the first editor's comments and realized he was just offering positive feedback, so I skimmed over that. The other one, though, took me to task on a couple issues about clarification and redundancy. Rightfully so too.
I need a way to incorporate this experience into my writing classes. Maybe I'll share it with my College Comp class, which has their rough draft for their research paper due today. It might lighten their hearts that I'm really in the same place as they are.
Once my presentation for the staff is over with and I have my essays all read and graded, I'll focus on revising the essay.
