Corn Fest
Oh my gosh. I finally have the opportunity to update this thing. I have been working non-stop. I have no idea how Potocat does it!!
In school I have been teaching the little children how to write a narrative essay. Easy, one might think. Wrong you are. Yes, you, the teacher, might be a talented writer. I got all A's in my college English classes so I consider myself okay in the basics of writing. Now, try teaching your skill. Its terribly difficult. And then a student writes. "I want to go to Hawaii. Firstly, it is warm. Secondly, it is breezy. Thirdly, I might meet a Hawaiian boy who would kiss me. Nextly, I like the sun. Finally, I want to go to Hawaii." Clearly somewhere along the line, that person was taught to use transitions...but that many transitions? Holy crap. How do I correct them? Tell them not to use transitions? Well then you have a paragraph that says, "I like the sun. It is breezy." and the like. That would be great if you were in second grade, but they are in 7th. What do you do with that? So, I think, what would I do in my own writing to correct such an error like that which I had made? I wouldn't write like that in the first place! That's what I would do! I had NOOOO idea teaching writing would be so difficult. Awww tartar sauce!
Sweet lord. This is the first day of Corn Fest in this little town. Its a giant fair with food and games and rides. Its actually a clean event though, not dingy like Pekin's Marigold Festival. The whole town buys these cute buttons and you wear them. Mine is number 10,780. If they draw your number you win money. I better win some goddammed money. I'm gonna eat an elephant ear. Yum yum. They are better than funnel cakes.
I was attempting to teach a kid how to write a narrative essay this week, and I told him that he needed to write a topic sentence. So he wrote the word, "Sad" on his paper. I said, "That is not a topic sentence." So he put a period (.) after it to make it, 'Sad.'and said, "Now it is." FRUSTRATION...RISING! Urge to poop on the floor, rising HIGHER!
No TV and no beer make Homer something something.
Go crazy?
Why, yes, I think I will! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHBBBBBBBBBLLLLLLLLERUGHS!
