I took an evil evil theory cclass this semester. the professor was an old bitter man with a lazy eye. Today he sent me my final paper with some notes on how stupid I am. My favorite comment was the summery at the end of the paper. It Read:
"It is clear that you have made an effort to put together some complex ideas, but it hasn't been very successful, This is still a paper in search of a main point. Only if have one from the frist will all other arguments fall into place to support that main idea. You have here instead a lot of ideas all running around searching for a sense of coherence and order. They don't find it."
Damn, I knew that paper didn't have a point. I guess that is what happens whrn you write a 9 page paper in 3 hours on no sleep. I guess this is also a result of not learning anything from the class. If the idea of the paper was to tie together all the ideas we learned than I did a very good job of that. I am just gald to be out of that class. The man is evil. Ift is kind of funny. I write really well for classes when the professor or topic inspires me. I guess I just don't care about how economics and social theory determine sexuality. Actually I do think that is interesting. I jsut don't like Marxism. The title was alluring, but the class sucked. I went into it hoping to learn a lot, but alass Professor Moody was right, it is time to start choosing professors, not classes. I like her a lot. I learned a lot about the History and Structure on the English Language and the "Canterbury Tales." Yay for good classes. Boo bad classes.
I also got a postcard today from a lady at Temple Society of Concord. They liked the paper I wrote about their synagogue. She said my weiting shows I am an accomplished scholor. funny to get those two letters on the same day.
The highlight to my day so far was a conversation I had with Joey. He is a great roommate and a great guy. Go Joe! I am going to miss him and Katie next semester since they will both be over seas. but, in the words of Joe, next spring is going to be "rockin'".
