Egocentric post.
the rather self-obsessed part about me
Once upon a time, I handed in what I thought was the absolute worst piece of writing I'd ever submitted for marking in my life. I did it during some week when I was incredibly busy doing all the rest of my homework, so my first draft was rather horrible. I wasn't going to spend 1500 hours on something that Mills was going to give us time to improve later. When I reread it and tried to edit, I discovered I'd gone absolutely quote-happy in the third paragraph. O.o" I couldn't understand what I had been trying to say in the first place - I'd put in enough quotes to feed Africa, with about two words in-between each one. I tried to fix it and make it more understandable. However, that same night, I'd been doing my Socials group project. I was too wiped out by that to put real effort into changing my writing. So I gave up and just printed it out as it was.
Mills photocopied my work as a sample essay for the entire freakin' grade. That's crazy. After she asked if I wanted my name whited-out on the photocopy, I spent a day trying to convince myself that she wasn't going to go, "THIS IS HOW NOT TO DO AN ESSAY. IT'S SO BAD. DON'T DO IT. GOD WILL SMITE YOU IF YOU WRITE LIKE THIS." o_o;
That third paragraph is still quite quote-happy.
Oh, and HOW am I supposed to write "5 reasons why these essays are good"? I can see it now: "This essay is good because... uh, I wrote it." Feels too much like praising myself, which will make my ego explode. WATCH OUT FOR THE IMPENDING EGO EXPLOSION, CHILDREN.
xD I wrote "Block C Religion" by accident in the corner instead of "Block D English." Cassie caught it. Leanna thought it was hilarious. "How is this relevant," indeed.
the not-so-self-obsessed bit
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEANNA + DEANNA!! =)
ALSO, HAPPY BELATED 17TH, MEL!
