My English class is awful. It is incredibly boring - so much so that I think nostalgically of the days when I was accused of being a racist for not liking The Bluest Eye, when my teacher tried to put Jesus into Camus, when water was mentioned twice so it was a theme. At least something was happening! People don't even try to put 'homosexual themes' into everything anymore. (Which they do because it automatically makes it deeper, of course.)
And the Writing Marathon assignments are not worth writing on. "Design a happy meal advertising for a work of literature." Or I could just go find some brooches and put my eyes out - it would be more enjoyable. I just wrote in the first person and the present tense. This shows how insane I have been driven. Fools often think the present makes their writing automatically better. It doesn't. Oh well, at least it's not second person.
My teacher also can't write herself, which is most likely why she barely comments on my writing. I wrote a page and a half and got: "Your punctuation is sometimes strange" and "interesting."
Well, I guess I only have five more months with her.
