Blogs versus Essays

I got an essay back today for French Politics and I passed this time doing much much better than what I did in my failed essay I reported on a few weeks ago.


It would appear my style in essay writing lacks a certain, clarity of expression.

My essay, though received a far better mark, still to this criticism.

And it came to my mind that my form in blog writing is much better according to some observers so its something to learn from.

Perhaps then I can do better when it comes to my next essay and also my project on Republicanism, a research project of 5,000 words that I need done. Need a question though. Hopefully I can go full steam with this soon, get something going. I mighht well write some features as items in the news comes up.

Also thinking of some ideas and perspectives to give this blog a bit of direction and readership. Stayed tuned on that one...

Clarity of Expression

Liberté. Égalité. Fraternité.

I need to provide clarity of expression this time, since I did so dire on my last essay (More to come on that, like I said).

I have less than 7 hours to write an essay on whether the French Constitutional Council has come to serve as a 'third legislative chamber'.

Its interesting in its own way, but I fall asleep at every opportunity reading the research.

And the French Constitutional Council is a halfway house between our courts and the US Supreme Court.

Except, no appeals system, and they don't "create" laws, merely say whether they are legal or not.

So, basically, no, its not a third chamber, though it is very powerful in its own way. Now to translate this into 1,500 or so words.

Blogging has become my #1 Procrastination activity.

Its fun to write, even if there's no point behind it all.
