If I ever become a professor (and I hear the snickering from here), remind me not to make all the papers on one poem. Because trying to read them will drive me slowly insane. (It's not even a poem I *like*, which is particularly annoying. Hey, I didn't choose it.)

Heh. The sick part is that no matter how many options you give them, 90% of any given class will all write about the same thing, and it will be the thing you are least interested in.

Tee hee. This is doubtless true. Still, even a little variation would be nice right about now...
