Oh, Poor, Lonely, Neglected Blog....

...good thing no one reads you...

All my writing energies - such as they are - have been hijacked by English 103. I learned a lot in that class, such as: "Scholarly writing is where you take a perfectly good piece of writing and cram it into someone else's framework, because WHAT you say is much less important than whether it fits someone's arbitrary guidelines or not" and "Editing is where you take the piece you're writing, and re-write it over and over again, until you've completely sucked the life out of it and no longer CARE about what you're writing. Then you're done".

Fortunately, only two more classes and I'm done. I still, however, have one more semester of English. (Why I have to spend as many credit hours in ENGLISH as I did in ANATOMY for a PTA degree is way beyond me...) No more driving 45 minutes each way for "peer review" - I don't give a rat's ass what my CLASSMATES think of the paper, they're not giving me the grade - I'm taking the next class ON LINE.
