I choked :-(
So very badly in creative writing class this morning. I mean, I FLOUNDERED.
We were given a writing exercise twenty seconds after the class started. And I was completely blocked, I could not think up a story or a poem under that kind of time pressure. The end result was an awful, jumbled mess, and my classmate, who had to critique my work, TOLD me that it was an awful, jumbled mess.
Well so was his, but at least I was nice in telling him so. For fuck's sake.
I'm traumatized, and wondering if I need to reconsider my college/career goals from here on out.
