I'll just be different... thanks! :]


So today I turned in my Honors English essay that i have been slaving over for the past two weeks! I was pretty excited to turn it in because i felt it was well written. It was even more exciting to find out that the teacher scheduled conferences to grade the paper with you. So, being anxious to hear my grade, I signed up for the first available time that I could. I went in after my classes got out and sat down for my paper to be praised.... i was feeling a little arrogant.... He starts looking at it and the first thing he says is "The titles flat." Well thats nice mister, its words on a paper... not seeing my 3-D animation anywhere else. Of course, i knew he meant it sucked, so i just took it in, titles arent my thing. Then the intro... boy did he tear that apart. I worked forever to word it just perfectly, and what does he say? Your wording is bad. OUCH! So then we continued... he found a lot of things he really liked in the essay, but told me not to be so stylistic... apparently i have to earn the right to stylize. DUMB!!!!!! If i wanna use fragment sentences, well by golly i will! I dont need to be famous to write like i am! Anyways, so essay comes to the end... conclusion paragraph left... im bracing myself, cause i thought it was the worst part... and guess what! He like it! He said it sounded elegant. I think it sounded absurd and wordy! Anyways, so he continues to tell me how I was a very good writer, perhaps the best in the class... then im thinkin' "Hey, i might get an 'A'." Nope. B.... thats whats I got... he doesnt give A's.... well i think thats dumb. If i were in a regular english class i'd have a 100% So now the question i wonder is: Why am I being punished for being smart? Is that fair? I mean come on... just cause i take harder classes doesnt mean my GPA should be at risk!!! I aint wanna be a bad wrighter! (haha, i crack myself up!) I want to be in a class that challenges me and allows me to write in a sophisticated manner, but I also want to get good grades!! So now, I am determined to get an A!! It must be done!!!

Also, on a side note.... i have decided to revolt the music program... I refuse to conform to the cookie-cutter musician. I will sing your opera, and italian, and the dumb songs from a million years ago.... but i will still sing my songs, my way... and if I slur some notes, well all the better!! At least I'll stand out! Also, people may actually enjoy listening to modern music... this old stuff is putting me to sleep!
