Heh. I have no idea whether it's a regional thing or if it was something that one of my friends originated, but it describes a cigarette that's been smoked so fast that a long ash hangs off a huge ember, looking like it's in constant danger of falling off.
I wrote like you in college. I had papers pretty much completely outlined and drafted in my head, then it was just a matter of typing and checking grammar/spelling when I was done. Sure, I hit a few snags every now and again, but for the most part, it worked.
However, I will say that wht you're seeing seems to often be the norm of Freshman writing classes.
I suppose what's killing me is that I'm coming from honors English classes at NOVA where the professor said we should be writing drafts, but didn't have us hand them in to make sure. Final product was what mattered.
I get to skip the freshman and sophomore composition classes; this is a strange GMU-specific requirement for English majors.
Well, generally speaking in college, the final product is ALL that matters (Okay, except in science and math classes that usually want to see your work... but that's different). So I dont' quite get the point of making you do this. Well, I guess there are worse fates.
