It's a 10-week course and I've lost 4 weeks.

Four years.

That's how long it's been since I've made something less than a B- on a paper.

And then I hit a brick wall.

Not the Berlin Wall. Nor the Great Wall of China. This one is called English 1o1.

Seriously? I've done perfectly fine on each paper I've completed in college. Sociology, psychology, foreign relations, global politics, American lit, biology. All great grades on written work. And English 101 is the course that brings me down?

... Seriously?

If the purpose of 101 is to teach you how to write so you properly complete assignment in your other classes, I don't think it's working.
