Thanks for the e-mails, and you weren't bothering me at all.

Now, as for the essay, I thought it was pretty good except for a few parts:
1)You use a dash once or twice, as you should, but all of a sudden after that you use a single hyphen. Use the dash, as the other way is confusing. I.e. "When it came full circle-no pun intended"
2) Halfway through you stop being mildly serious and suddenly go to silliness--which is fine, but having something serious and then going to silly, and not just normal silly but completely wacky by the end, makes the flow all wrong.
That's it.

Other than that it was good.
Keep up the writing!
