Cue me feeling like an idiot. XD
Oh, man. Embarrassing story.
I have a Creative Writing workshop three days a week. Every two of those two days, my class workshops two stories in class. Not only do you have to read it, but you also have to mark on it, write notes in the margins, write at least a page on what was good/bad about the story and how it could be improved, and then we discuss it in-depth in class the next day.
So last night I had to read a very complex story for said class. Though it was an interesting story, the language was far too elevated for its own good. Seriously. There were some points where it was just ridiculous; the entire class, it seemed, was very confused on what was going on at one point, and everyone interpreted the scene differently. Seth, who is in that class with me, thought it was a drug use scene. I, personally, was absolutely SURE it was a masturbation scene. So I wrote about it as such when writing my comments to the writer. I literally wrote, "I found the psychological aspects behind the masturbation scene quite compelling..." yah-da-yah-da-yah-da.
Come class time, we found out that we were all wrong; it was a self-asphyxiation scene! Go figure!
Of course, now I feel like an idiot, as I practically wrote a whole essay on what I thought was about a dude jerking off. I can't WAIT for the writer to read my comments. I'm going to look like such a dirty-minded fool. But, in my defense, my teacher totally thought that was a valid interpretation, so I feel a little better about myself. XP
Good week, all!
