well, as it turns out my classes are finished. That's nice. My shakespeare final wasn't all that bad. it was actually kind of easy, but of course, isn't everything for a guy like me.
i recently recieved an email reply from a writing teacher who i showed my work to. she called THE MOVIE LIFE 'stilted' with a show-offy feel. I felt like replying with - dear janet, fuck you. it really bothers me, not that she said it, because i can take criticism, but that i believe her criticism stems not from the work but from her own distaste for me as a person. i'm fairly sure she thinks i'm a show off kind of a guy (which is true) and she doesn't like it. I think she doesn't like it because i pretty much went through the whole semester turning in writings that were spoofs on the idiotic things people were showing off as writings in the class. People turned in a shit load of magazine cutouts pasted to a paper and i was expected to explain how beautiful it was. how original. how the colors on one side reinforce the text on the other. It was absurd. I felt like i was in freaking crazy town or something. i have to call sean.
