*stretches*
Pssst. Wanna know a secret? ...I slept for twelve hours last night. I fell asleep around 6 or 7ish PM last night and, as there was a delay today because of snow, I got up at 7AM. I'm a happy child. No homework at all was finished, but really, who needs an education? I know, I know. Everyone. Please, allow me my delusions.
Speaking of education -- I never thought I'd hear myself say this -- but, I wish we were taught more grammar. That is one topic our school system really just sort of skims over. Mind you, I hated the little we did when we did it, but now, well, it'd be useful. I've learned more English grammar from Spanish and Latin class than I have anywhere else. I know the basics: subject, verb, insert period at the end of the sentence, and for God's sake, don't use more than one exclamation point (actually, that one I learned from fandom). When it comes to punctuation though, I have no idea. Any uses of commas, semicolons, colons, ellipses, --s, parentheses, etc are beyond my knowledge. It bothers me not to use them, but I only have a vague idea how to use them. So, most instances of their presence are complete guesses on my part. Okay, the random thought of the day is complete. I'll be going to school now to scowl subtly at my English teacher for leaving me so woefully uneducated. We'll ignore the fact that the lack of grammar knowledge is probably mostly my fault for not paying attention to the few lessons we had back in middle school.
