It's fine. Don't overthink this.
i see.
so they wouldn't see it, and think negatively of it? I am 'late' in teh application process so I'd really like to get these in asap

The quicker the better. Some programs look at it as an expression of interest if a secondary is complete within two week of receiving it. The only problem with submitting to quickly is typos and errors, that would hurt you. Otherwise getting it done quick is better for everyone. Like ripping off a band aid.
ok. my intention is for it to show interest
but on the flipside it could also show indifference, as i'm not pouring out my heart like fresh liver for a school. it's leftovers. this is the feeling i'm scared of
The time taken to submit an application is affected by so many things that it's useless to read anything into it.
Quick turnaround doesn't necessarily mean someone copied-and-pasted from a different secondary. What if that person just got the prompts early and pre-wrote the answers?
They won't know you recycled your essay unless it doesn't answer the prompt or you forget to change the name of the school lol.
