まったく。。。

I'm not sure why, but まったく (geeze...) seems to sum up my thoughts right now, like it's the recurring theme.

I finally turned in that damn metafiction paper on Tuesday. We got it back today: B-. Fail, right? I worked so hard on it. -_- She said that we can revise it again and turn it in my the end of the semester and she will take the better grade. But I never want to see that paper again! ... But I want an A... ;_;

Right now, though, I have to worry about a Rhetoric test on Tuesday and the euthanasia debate on Thursday. Tomorrow is Genevra's birthday, but I probably won't get to spend much time with her 'cause I need to research for the debate and meet up with Ethan at 4:30. I haven't gotten to spend much time with Genevra recently--it's made me lonely again. >< Pathetic. I hope she likes her presents. I'm sure she will, I'm just worried about the bracelet. It fell apart tonight when I went to put it on. Thank God I had the extra supplies. Hopefully it will be okay now.

I need sleep!

Writing Slave

Wednesdays are always so full of writing. I'm "revising" my metafiction paper for O'Brien's The Things They Carried. Or rather, rewriting it. Or trying. I'm in the lounge in Holland, but there are these three girls across the room that are studying for a test in about an hour and a half in what sounds like anatomy. I don't mind it as much now beause they are acutally studying, but before the third one got here, they were just babbling about random stuff. DX

No one's ever had a problem with my English writing until now. I know Prof. Schwartz doesn't mean to be mean, but she just tears my papers to shreds. I'll be so glad when the semester's over.

I also have to write an Argument paper today. >p This is way too much writing.

Why am I so attentive when it comes to words? I'm horrible at using them myself, but when they are said or written out in front of me, I'm very particular about the words used and what they mean. For example, the assignment on metafiction: the paper is saying to "Show particular examples (using specific quotes from the text) of O'Brien's use of metafiction and explain how that technique qualifies it (or doesn't?) as metafiction." So I've been focusing on proving that it's metafiction 'cause that's what it says. But I just got off the phone with Prof. Schwartz and she was saying that I'm supposed to focus on how and why it's being used. Maybe I'll talk to her about that tomorrow... if she has a minute or two after class. How I'm not understanding/misinterpreting what she is looking for and that's why I don't get it.

I answer questions based on wording. I'm a weirdo. (-_- )( -_-)

=_=

Here's a repetitive entry: I'm lonely!! And it's only Friday!

Genevra is on her way to North Carolina with her friend Malory to meet someone Mal met online. It's a good thing that Malory isn't going alone, but now I don't have anything to do this weekend except for homework. I want to meet up with Keer at some point, but he hasn't gotten back to me on when would be best. It's a three day weekend (Yay Fall break), so I can pretty much hang whenever.

So bored... I guess I'll start reading those articles for Rhetorical Process...
