Have you ever had one of those really bad days? Or one of those okay days, that went horribly wrong? Thursday was like that.
I'll be honest, I kind of like school. I like it when I understand what is going on. I like it when I like what we are doing, too. But I missed Pre-calculus because of a Psychology exam (there is a LOT of hate right there. >:( ). But I had learned how to do graphing inequalities before, so I figured I could do it. Only, when I got to the homework I realized I wasn't sure how to shade, I looked in the examples in my book and it was unclear, so I just jumped in with what I thought I knew. Not smart. I ended up in tears redrawing the same graph six times. And then I threw my book across the room. I was kind of freaked out that it took that little of frustration to make me so angry. The stress of other things (like a Bible project and a short story that I have to write... in which I detest every character) have been getting to me lately... The Bible project is now over (Hypostatic Union, I am so glad that Jesus was fully God and fully man, but I am SICK of researching it and teaching people about you.), but the short story is due next week. Not too bad, right? It would be if I didn't suck at writing long fiction.
Page long descriptions of a moment or conversation are okay, but ten pages of a story that makes sense? No way. (Why did I take Creative Writing?) After a page I hate my characters, my writing style, and the way I make my k's. I think my main character is too proud or just plain dumb. I feel like my description sounds dumb. Am I being too critical of myself? Sharing my work is hard. I hate when people pick it apart and point out grammatical flaws (like little ones. I like it when someone fixes a big mistake!) and argue with me over my word choice. I leave some sentences without description for REASONS! What ever happened to leaving out some things for suspense?
I have four journal entries and at least two pages of my story to write tonight. This is awesome. /endsarcasm
So, to sum up:
- Crying over Pre-calculus homework is lame.
- Short stories are lame, too.
