I'm just gonna speak at you


I feel like that the Hide and Seek story took forever to post, so I feel like I'm just going to speak at you this rainy Thursday. I recently had a paper due for my Critical Approaches to Language Studies class... I have never ever worked as hard as I worked on this paper. And not to sound like the generic college student, but seriously, this teacher HATES me. I swear to you I am not exaggerating. Even the cutie patootie guy sitting next to me asked what I did to the professor to make him hate me so much. This professor even made me cry in the middle of my speech in front of the class! And I tell you, I am soooo not a crier!

Anyhoozles on this paper I worked my boot-ay off on, I recieved the extremely lovely grade of a C-!!! Can you believe it? An English major got a C- on a paper!? Well, I couldn't believe it either! And what was his main reason for such  low grade... well, it was cause I didn't have enough evidence... BUT more than that, he said it wasn't academic writing.

And I ask you, please define academic writing for me. Is it words that no one can understand? Jargon? Technical language? No personality?

Well academic world... Shit is about to go DOWN!

Why can't I put my personality into my pape? Where is the line between academic and personal writing? I feel like I should be able to put a part of myself into everything I write... be it academic writing or personal writing. I can still make my point (and can probably make it even better) by adding a touch of Dallas to it. Professors are always preaching about the style of writing, and that each writer has a different technique to writing. Well, if you are going to smush my style, personality traits, and passion for writing how am I ever supposed to become the giant famous writer I have always dreamed of becoming.

Well, I am going to stick it to the man! I am going to resubmit this paper, with my personality dripping off the page (and also have more evidence to support my thesis tee hee)
