Except that I'm a little pissed off... Maybe not pissed off, but feeling somewhat helpless at this point. I recently turned in a fiction piece on rape, received it back today with notes from the professor that she felt it glorified rape. Obviously, this isn't a good first impression, especially when my intent was opposite. I personally think it was read hastily, as a careful inspection would show that only the rapist uses pornographic language and themes, whereas the victim is repulsed by the words and ideas. Oh well, though.
Speaking of women, I've started my final project, which I hope will turn out to be a chronologically-mixed dueling-narrative about women's body image and my personal mental progression regarding sex and love. Should be fun.
I'd go on and on about classes, but they're all pretty typical. Hum and Italian film could be more interesting, Sign is good, Fiction could go either way.
Just needed a quick vent. Back to reading and other horrible pastimes.
