my paper was workshopped yesterday and people said they liked it on paper but totally ripped me a new one verbally. the professor was the worst. at first i was more...miffed that they weren't all YAY HELLO GREAT WRITER. i thought i had done a damn good job. haa, not so much, i guess. some of the written comments were effed up, which was fine, because you're going to get that. writing is competitive. some were cute. most were unhelpful. i know what i did wrong; i wish people would give ideas i could explore, instead of telling me what doesn't work. i came home in a weird mood. not mad or upset, just...thrown off, maybe, in a contemplative way.
now that i finished a long day of work and watched some tv? i find the entire workshop amusing. i was bashed and i didn't flip out and YES. maturity and growth, you are good bedfellows.
side note: WHY IS BONES NOT ON?! freaking american idol.
also, i apologize, i know the lowercase is making your eyes bleed. i am so lazy at the moment, the shift key seems like work.
also also, i would like some chocolate.
