I know how you feel, though not in terms of the senior thesis considering I don't have any respect for Mr. Trevino nor care to have his XD. Wanting the respect of Mrs. Faridpak has been a huge motivation for me in chemistry since I met her. It's one of the reasons I felt so proud of that A- in AP Chem and it's also one of the reasons I feel so bad when I don't do very well on a test or don't understand a concept.
All I have to say about that is if she didn't respect me before, she better now seeing as how today I ended up skinning part of my finger on a lab desk, was bleeding, and still managed to grade all those chem tests. XDDDDDD
I'm sure you have Mr. Krucli's respect. Someone with as much passion about writing as you have cannot go without respect, especially in the eyes of an English teacher.
:D thanks. Now stop bleeding over the chem stuff. Though I hear blood reacts in an interesting way with hydrogen peroxide? Definitely not wanting to study for that test, so I'm going over the dictators instead...
XDD Yes, of course it does. Think about when you pour hydrogen peroxide on a wound. It's actually an enzyme in your blood, catalase, that causes the hydrogen peroxide to decompose. So all those lovely bubbles are really pure oxygen gas. I love chemistry XDDD tis why I'm studying that instead of the dicators.
Not disappointed. You are who you are, and if you're okay with not having motivation then I'm okay with you not having motivation. Not that you're completely unmotivated, but in the context of the discussion...you know what I mean?
The only thing I hate is unmotivated people who hate themselves for being unmotivated by don't try to *do* anything about it, except for complaining. That is slightly disappointing.
It makes more sense than what a lot of other people do. They spend their whole childhood and adolesence following someone else's dream and then they wind up in college and half of them look around and think, "how the hell did I get here and what am I gonna do next?" The only thing sadder is that the other half go through their whole lives without ever realizing that who they are is not themselves.
Interesting thoughts on the senior thesis (especially since Mr. McClure was my advisor). ...I ended up working to win his respect for YA fiction, not my writing. I think it partially worked. :)
Good job on you! I know I write so much about sci-fi (and so much that is sff) because at one point my father used to disdain the combined genres as useless and incapable of producing anything literary. I've grudgingly worked my way through the years to earn his respect for things other than straight-up fiction. When arguing the worth of something, it helps to have someone specific you're arguing at -- it focuses your intentions, and probably you learn something from it on the way.

Am I making sense? I hope so?
