How Did We Get Here?

I am actually very grateful for BW700, I am learning a lot. However, I have been talking to some of my fellow classmates about how necessary this course is, and we tend to wonder, how in the world, did we all get through undergrad, most of us have Masters degrees in something, and now we are working on our PhD, and realizing just how much is lacking in our writing ability. It just seems surreal at times.
