What makes it worse is that it's SO BORING (its about documentation systems in museums, basically filling one in and then commenting on it). If it were an actual essay, where I could have thoughts and make an arguement it would be more interesting.

And, of course, if it were an essay I'd be able to tell if it's any good, because I know what a good essay sounds like and I know what a bad one is like. This? Haven't a clue. So it's like hitting my head against a brick wall.
I think I'm just going to reference it, tidy it up and bit and give up!
