That just about sums up my whole college career. That's how I felt all the time. College taught me never ever to expect As or perfection. It taught me that I cannot succeed in doing what I love. So, I understand how you feel. You give it your all and you can't tell the difference from you being lazy. Or your teachers can't. Fucking sucks! I'm sorry to hear you had a fall chica. But now you can go up. You know what to do and you can do it. You have a better understanding and a better idea of how to write your paper. Need I point out, you can always get help! You must have a writing centre somewhere, yes? I know it hurts. I gave a story to a dear friend of mine and she ripped it apart. Not because he hated it, but because it was crappy. The idea was fine, the writting just wasn't soild. But that did help me ever so much. I just have to get to the point to where I can rewrite it. It'll come. Just get out your strees and move on.
Honestly for the most part I still love college. Still feel *good* here. (and hey. no matter how hard it was? you *did* it.) Thanks. Yeah, writing help is always good, though for once it was my content (the fact that it had a lot of information but no connective tissue). Feedback is always a good thing, (I make a friend of mine rip my papers apart sometimes, and hey, look, when he does that my teachers don't hate my grammar). Stress gone. Am progressing with what, while it's not an honors paper is not bad, and this time it's a real paper.
Oh man. *hugs* That's an awful blow. I hope you can take this and turn it around, now, into something that you can be proud of (even if it's a differnt kind of paper).
I know exactly what it's like to feel like a failure . . . particularly at something important that you care about. The whole job fiasco has been like that for me so far, but: I hope (and think) that maybe crashing can give a person a new, more determined start. Maybe. Don't let it drag you under, that's all.
Love you. We should hang out sometime if you have time/inclination.
*hugs* are *so* good. Thank you. I have gotten an new start. Shorter, better paper. And hey look, this time it's coming together. 'm sorry about the job thing, (and hey, good luck with all of that. Just saw your LJ.)
So much love. We should definitely get together. Especially now that I only have a normal course load this coming semester.
(Hey, english, whaddya think, Second half of the brit lit survey course or Victorian Medievalism?)
No problem, sweetie; shall have to give you some in person sometime.
I'm glad it's coming together this time. Hopefully, with some of the pressure off, you'll have fun. ^^
No worries about the job thing. It's discouraging, but stopping isn't an option, so I have to get somewhere at some point, eh? :p
Yes for getting together! You just let me know when you have some time (I'm still good for evenings and weekends, which include Fridays.)
(Well . . . knowing me, I'd totally do Victorian Medievalism. I'm impractical, and those are both favorite periods of mine . . . the thought is making me drool. But. Who is teaching each course?)
Yes. You shall one day get your dream job. (Honestly, I don't see why not)
once I'm done with this stuff we'll definitally have to see about getting together. I've been discussing various movie marathons with people here. One of which is vampires and another of which is british sitcoms so maybe you could come by for one of those if you're interested.
I'm definitaly leaning towards that one. The teachers are Cornelia Pearsall (I did like her) and I think Nancy Bradbury (who I've heard not so great stuff about)
awww. I love you too, princess. Miss you. Will call when I'm done with this stuff.
I still love Milton. Hell, still love this paper. Possibly love it more now that it's a shorter thing that's actually coming together. Well, not more. but still happy with it. Cause it *is* milton.
