You have any idea how many times I've banged out papers the night before?

I write best at three in the morning. This is fact.

You guys remember my pissed off English teacher and that Elegance of the Hedgehog bit, right?

I do mine right away any way because then I have no stress.

Although I cant relate to the test thing at all due to testing being where I excel... sorry. :/

It was a long time ago.

I used this thread as a sounding board and wound up hammering out a fifteen page analysis essay the night before at three in the morning on The Elegance of the Hedgehog, stating why it failed as both a straightforward novel and as satire. Probably one of the better papers I've written.

That had to have been the most passive-aggressive A I've ever gotten in my life.

She was mad that I trashed an award-winning book but as I (A) completed the terms and requirements of the assignments and (B) covered myself on all bases with my debate, she didn't have any choice but to give me full credit.

The Lovely Bones was award-winning too, lady, and it still blows chunks.

Sometimes the best way to understand a work is through a lens of harsh criticism.

Also she was a shitty teacher and was retiring that year and clearly didn't give a fuck. Copped out on our final (the whole time she was building it up to strongly feature The Great Gatsby, then decided that was too difficult and showed us a random short film and told us to write an essay on it), kept spelling the titles of our books wrong ("Tinker at Pilgram Creeck" indeed. Lady, you teach fucking English. Christ, no wonder this country is illiterate), spilled coffee on our worksheets constantly because the front table was piled full of trash and old papers and was unstable as it is, never left instructions for the poor substitutes, who were lost enough as it was due to the aforementioned clutter, insisted this one girl in front of me didn't know how to spell her own name even when she brought in her state ID to prove it.

Rule abiding ninny that I am, that is to date the only time I have ever deliberately skipped a class. I did too hand in that worksheet within my allowed sick day absences and you know it.

Thankfully I had a kickass English teacher for my senior year, so there's that, at least.

I could also go off a rant about The Lovely Bones, but I won't because I need to save my energy for fuming at video games.

Because it was up its own ass with pretentiousness and failed to portray a child prodigy in a way that was either realistic or at least fucking interesting and didn't make me want to punch her. Also the ending was laaaaaaaaame. "Oh, well, shit. You're dead now. Okay cool this inspires me I guess and I'm just gonna not kill myself now." -MUSING ABOUT THE COLOUR PINK INTENSIFIES-

Some adults just can't write kids, I guess.

[up]The Lovely Bones was shit mostly because of its ending too.

Hedgehog was kind of shit all the way through. I wanted to slap that stupid girl so hard

Would it be cooler if it were about actual hedgehogs?
