English class, The Awakening

Oct 10, 2002 18:19

Events like today's English class remind me why I can never really relate to the A-track students, even if I am one. We're reading The Awakening, and the main character kills herself in the end.

I Love You.

"And it never occurs to any of them that I see all too well." WHY do you see all too well?

Great. If you were trying to make me feel guilty, and I think you were, it definately worked. It was working before you even tried though.

I wasn't trying to make you feel guilty. But you're right, you didn't do a very good job of making me believe you were talking to me. Just remember I love you.
