RANT
I HATE MY ENGLISH TEACHER!!
HATE HATE HATE!! SHE SUCKS. The End.
No not the end. Okay, so we have to go to these stupid fucking meetings so she can evaluate our performance in her class so far, right? We here's what we've done. An essay from the beginning of the year and and in class essay on the Kite Runner. So I come to the meeting, she wastes 10 mins trying to find my evaluation sheet, finally finds it says I'm doing great and that I have a AB grade. Then she proceeds to whip out my essay (a narrative on a significant personal memory, as assigned) and marks me off a shit load for using contractions telling me that in a formal essay I should never use them, to which I respond by saying, "I thought it was a narrative and figured it would sound silly to be so formal when I'm writing about something terribly personal." To which she says, "It doesn't matter, it's still a formal essay." MIND YOU SHE IS GRADING MY PAPER THAT SHE HAS HAD FOR WAY OVER A MONTH WHILE I'M IN THE ROOM. She fucking GRADED my paper during this so called "evaluation session". What the FUCK has she been doing for a month and a half!?! OH and then she tells me that I should have gotten to the point my memory was about SOONER, because it "took me nearly half the paper to discover what was significant about the memory." And I'm thinking DUH! It's a fucking NARRATIVE!! Why the hell would I state was the significance is right away!! There would be no point to the fucking paper if I did!! SO she gives me and 82 on my paper and proceeds to "grade" the other one which she basically looks at for two seconds makes random comments on and gives me 100. The other one was a bullshit in class thing that we didn't even plan. SHE DIDN'T EVEN READ IT. So I'm already pissed at this whole scenario and leave ASAP. When I get back to my room I look at the two other "problems" with my paper besides contractions and that I "didn't make the point early enough for her." And the two other things wrong with it MAKE NO SENSE. NONE. She fucking put a semicolon in a sentence that makes no sense with it in... here, I'll show you. This is the sentence:
"As the CD continues its merry-go-round, it spins a melody through the thin wire earphones leading up to my wandering thoughts."
This is what she did to it.
"As the CD continues its merry-go-round ; it spins a melody through the thin wire earphones leading up to my wandering thoughts."
WTF?!!?!
And this is the other one!
"Now that I’m in college and growing even faster and farther than I could have expected, I sometimes still feel like that girl walking alone on the wet road on the backstreets of Georgia. But, I also know that, like that girl, when I return home, I will be a stronger person because of what I’ve learned and experienced along the way."
Her version:
"Now that I’m in college and growing even faster and farther than I could have expected, I sometimes still feel like that girl walking alone on the wet road on the backstreets of Georgia , but, I also know that, like that girl, when I return home, I will be a stronger person because of what I’ve learned and experienced along the way."
Is it just me or is that a fucking run-on sentence if you ever saw one!?!?
OMG I HATE HER. There were a couple of other comma things she put in that we completely unecessary but I could at least see a little bit where she might have been coming from so I won't rant about those... GOD, this is stupid.
Final thought. I'm paying thousands of dollars for this kind of a SHITTY class!?! Redunkulous.
