I have realized that after two years of pure trashy answer writing in an MBA program I have manage to destroy my skill of writing good essays. Something which used to be my forte in school.
A good, logical, reasoned and structured essay. You would read through it and it would not be puffy like cotton-wool, but solid like a wall. You could find no loopholes in it. The progression of the logic would be smooth. At no point would the reader feel lost and angry because he cannot make sense of what is going on. The purpose of the essay was to get the point across not fill pages with gibberish.
There are certainly palpable breakages in the wall. The skill is tarnished. And it is not like math, that I have forgotten the formulae and practicing five test exercises is going to put things in perspective. This is high art, and diligence is required. The language cannot be jocund and frivolous. It has to be serious and the tone should bind together the entire piece as one smooth string of pearls.
I am hoping to God that I get back my touch.
