Good Intentions Bad Results

Ok, so right now I feel like throwing myself off of a building. Reason being? I just went through an hour long lecture about how much my essay sucked because of it's negativity. Then I sat through another twenty minutes of being told how I need to fix it, and now I need to re-write my second draft, get it checked, and then write my final draft.

I am never doing a paper on someone in my family again.

Someone remind me of this next time we are given an assignment on a person.

Thanks!

Now I'm going to go complete this essay (which I was excited about and am now thinking that it is no longer my work), and then I'm going to go up to my room and try to read at least fifty pages of Monte Cristo which is what I will have to do every night if I want to get the points for AR this term.

Damn, and today was supposed to be a really good day.

I'm an idiot for thinking that.

No day is a really good day in the house of the Turek's (my step dad's last name).

Edit (12-11-07)- Wow. I am a brat. One bad day and I say something like that. ^
Am I really that bad of a person? I didn't think so, but now I'm not so sure. Do I say things like that when I'm angry? I guess I really am like that. :(

Oh, goodness! Who told you your essay was bad?

Mads said...

My mom.

Becca said...

Ahhh Man! I'm sure your essay was above average, just like you. :D

Mads said...

It was on one of my sisters and I was saying things that other people said, and then saying that those things weren't true. My mom said it was mean and that there was no way she'd let me turn it in that way. I spent three hours fixing it.

Becca said...

Ugh. That is ridiculous. I think original intentions are a work of art. When writing you shouldn't sugar coat. Unless that's part of the story. Yay for bluntness and honesty!

Mads said...

I agree. Sugar coating things is stupid. I mean my final draft said the exact same things as before except you couldn't really gather the real mood from what I (my mom made me) said.

Becca said...

I'd like to read your original draft. I'm sure it would be illuminating. :D

Mads said...

I'll send it to you if you want.

Becca said...

Only if you feel comfortable. I know sometime I don't want people to read my writing. :D

Mads said...

I don't mind. I just don't know when I'll have the time to go through my huge pile of documents and remember where I saved it. Lol. That happens all the time. Even though it has only been a few days it's already lost among the massive amounts of crap on my computer.

Ahahaha. I hear ya, sister. ;)
