Our argumentative essay

During the previous week, we've started to write our argumentative essay. It seems to be the most difficult work in all our english-advanced-201 course. We have to use a lot of sources which should be in English; and we have to quotate, summarize and paraphraze them according to a system of rules that is called MLA and that is quite different from the one I'm used to. We also have to write Work Citeld list on the last page. Furthermore, this essay is the biggest - 2 pages at least.
In my opinion, my essay is not brilliant (and even not finished now: I'm still checking it). The worst part for me is that one of sources, as all I know about the economy of Russia is reflected in Russian books, which were not translated into English. I can't really say that one part of my essay is the best; maybe the ideas are not the worst - everything I can say about my work.
What about the ways to improve my essay, i have only one idea: to spend more time on it. Because of to hw of maths I was very short of free time this week, so I couldn't do my agrumentative essay as well as I wanted. I hope my last draft would be better^^.
P.S It is 2:30 now. I've recently finished re-doing my essay. I am ill and I feel very tired as I haven't sleeped for more then 7 hours for week and a half. Tomorrow I'll wake up at 7 o'clock, and it will be one more zombie-day. That is the negative part of education: even if the work you have to do damages more then benefits, it must be done.
