WARNING: COMPLAINING AHEAD

E 314V- African American Literature and Culture.  Dr. Meta Jones

I'll spare you my complaints about my professor for the moment, since I really need to get back to this essay.  Sometime next week I'll post what will be my comments for the course evaluation.

We read a book (Sent For You Yesterday) and I hated it.  I hate stream of consciousness books.  William Faulkner is my kryptonite.  Then we had to write a paper on it.  The topics she assigned us were dumb, and I picked the one that I thought I could write the most on, despite the fact that none of them really inspired me.  I struggled to write the 750 word minimum, but managed to pull through and turned in a solid B paper.

She didn't see it that way.  I got an 80 on it, but I certainly deserved a high B.  Everyone was unhappy with these papers, so she decided to give everyone a chance to edit and rewrite them.  And by "rewrite", she means "double in length."

So here I sit, trying to add another 700 words to this already mediocre paper without completely throwing out all that I have written.  I've added seven words.

This is highly depressing.
