i'm a jerk

this post is going to make me sound like a huge wench. i know, i'm an awful person but just hear me out.

so in my advanced syntax and rhetoric class we're writing analytical essays and doing peer reviews. sunday night i was reading the paper of a girl in my group and literally had to stop commenting. it was so bad that i felt mean even though i wasn't marking everything i thought should be changed. the girl used 'shady' as an adjective, and she wasn't describing a tree. this morning as i walked to class, i tried to figure out what on earth i was going to say to this girl when we were face to face.

we exchanged papers and i tried not to make eye contact. (now keep in mind, my writing on this piece of crap is by no means representative of my school work.) glancing over my paper i notice the comments that the aforementioned girl wrote in the margins. to begin with, some of them were blatant grammatical errors. furthermore, how am i supposed to even read corrections from someone whose paper looked like something i wrote in sixth grade?

i'm not saying i wrote a perfect paper, but it was at least appropriate for the class. her writing wouldn't have bothered me so much if it weren't a senior level english class.

end rant.

  • Martha, you don't even capitalize the first letter to the beginning of a sentence. While you may have good content in your paper your grammar resembles a stupid hick...but then again you are an Aggie.
