Boost

World Lit is turning out to be a little more difficult than I had expected.
The difficulty is not the actual material, just finding the time to read the assigned material, and write papers about it.

It's been awhile since I have done any formal writing. I'm not gonna lie...I had to go through my final draft and remove a "..." here and there to make sure that I was not handing in something that made me look like an idiot. If you read this blog regularly, you are well aware of my love for run-on sentences, getting sidetracked with stories totally unrelated to the post topic, and that I have an overall disrespect for proper sentence structure.
and I begin sentences with "and".

Before we got our graded papers back, she warned us that several students failed the assignments [gulp], but not to worry, because the points can be made up by doing extra assignments at the end of the semester.

Imagine the boost of confidence I felt when my professor (that sounds so masculine...can't it be "professette" for a chick teacher?) selected the paper I'd submitted with shaky hands last week, to read out loud to the class tonight as "an example of excellence".


Mine and only mine was read.

People clapped.
(clapped! at something I had written!)
and they laughed.
(because it was funny, not because they were embarrassed for me).

I will survive.

Exam I next week.

Teacher's Pet, Teacher's Pet!

Way to go, you A Plus student, you!!! I knew you'd rock that class. She may as well just give you your final grade now.

Can we just call her "professora?!" That would be fun.

Way to go! Did she love the funny one where you gave relationship advice in the Virgil book? (Had to delete previous comment because I forgot to proofread first. Oops.)

@ angela-the Virgil paper was the one she read out loud.

@ HolleeAnn-I'll spare you. It took forever to write because the original text I was writing about (the Aeneid by Virgil) was so long winded.
