Current mood: pissed off
Subject: My english paper
I can't believe it.

I got a B+ on my paper.

It's not just that, a B+ is cool, whatever. It's that the kid I helped for three hours with his paper got an A-. His paper sucked ASS. It didn't prove a point. He had fragments, run ons, misspellings. He didn't support his thesis, and when he did he didn't have enough support. Basically he summarized the poem. And he got an A-, and I got a B+.

Why exactly did I get a B+? Her comments:

Michelle-
While the term transcendental (which she misspelled by the way) is often used with american romantics, it is not typical of british romantics. However, I do agree with the interpretation you come to as a result of borrowing the term. However, you can come to the same conclusion without the label.

So.....my paper was perfect except that she didn't agree with me.

And the kid who summarized instead of analyzed gets an A.

I thought I was suppose to be in college.
