Before you just re-submit this essay, why not go up to the professor and explain the situation? The worst case is that he/she will ask you to write an entirely new essay, and you get credit for being honest up front.

because it's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.

Isn't it very unlikely to get caught?

There was a warning the first day of class about plagiarizing, but it said zilch about submitting something for credit that was written previously, in my mind it makes perfect sense to get credit for something I've written and didn't previously get credit for as long as it fits the parameters of the assignment. I just wondered if anyone else considered it sketchy.
I can't get kicked out of school or the class for doing it, if it comes up at all in researching it will have my name on it so they can't accuse me of wrongdoing.
Anyway, It doesn't really seem much different than the regurgitated class work that the teachers give to each class, the same lessons all the time.

It's still plagiarism, just self plagiarism which is basically the same thing. I'd say talk to the instructor and find out what he says and what the schools policy is on that, in all likely hood it will be not allowed. Then again the instructor might not care. Or just quote your whole paper parts of the paper and cite yourself.

There is no such thing as self plagiarism.

At my university it was considered plagiarism to use anything you had written before, again. I'd probably talk to the teacher about it before. S/he could burn you.
We used to have to submit the papers to this document checker and it would see if it had been submitted before through any other school.

Not at my school when it came to plagiarism. If the computer spit back something suspicious (and it did once for one of my kids) you went right to the Chair of the Dept.

At my school there was a form you could fill out if you wanted to submit a paper for more than one class you were taking.. I am not sure about resubmitting during a later semester, but I would think it falls in the same category.
