cimorenei love how the calendar in the hallway says "EXAMS EXAMS" over that whole week in giant capital letters that fill up the entire calendar block.
no, i don't. i'm lying. also, it's slightly chilly and my hair is still wet, and the corner of my eye itches. otoh, my stomach isn't as upset as you might expect it to be. i prefer, of course, to not even know my stomach is there. it's my ambition to have a quietly efficient stomach that digests food just as i ask of it and never gives me any trouble.
my last english paper was on charlotte bronte's villette, and i was connecting a change in tone through a series of scenes with the author's fundamentally different relationships with her two romantic interests. talk about True Love with light and playful fun tone and about Horrid Infatuation with oddly competitive and aggressive tone (and the teacher for some reason liked the word "competition" but couldn't handle the word "hostile"). okay, this makes perfect sense to me. obviously. and yes, i wrote it at 2 am, but so fucking what? it still makes sense. good tone for good things, bad tone for bad things. i'm a writer and clever. you can't fool me. i know how this works. so. why does she think those two halves of the argument don't fit together? (listen to me bitch. i still got an a-; it's just the comment that's bewildered me.)
i suspect i ought to rewrite that one, then, for my final. but the thing is that her suggestion was like, "i'm not sure, if you were going to talk about the narration, that you should have even mentioned the romance. i think it would have make more sense to go with how lucy is called upon to make a spectacle of herself..." *fumefume* so in other words, an entirely different paper. right. no.
