Bah.

That is all I have to say about my writing class.

I wish that was all I had to say about my writing class. But I would just have to mention that I have wasted 85 of my hard-earned-by-the-sweat-of-this-slave’s-brow euros on this class, and I can’t justify not going to the rest of the classes. Funny how it seemed so easy to skip class in univeristy, and they were so much more expensive than this. I guess I just had better things to do while I was skipping out.

I would also like to mention the fact that a semicolon is not actually used for “well, we’ll say a longer pause”. It is actually used where a sentence is broken into two parts for effect, but the two parts are so related that it is necessary that they remain in the same sentence. The second phrase is a complete sentence in itself, and you can test this by putting a period in place of the semicolon; both phrases should be able to stand alone. I could go on about the use of the colon, but I already had my say about that in class.

I wish the friends I made last week were there today. I’m afraid they won’t be coming back, and I’m afraid it’s for the same reasons that I don’t want to go back either. I’m disappointed.

I wish the instructor would refrain from reading out samples of his writing to the class. It is painful and boring.

I wish the atmosphere in the class was more conducive to difference and creativity. I couldn’t read out what I had written in front of the class (thank god I wasn’t asked). I’m too different, too much futuristic-science-fiction-fantasy-dream-sequence, not enough my-dog-died-here-is-the-story.

I wish I could enjoy this. I had such high hopes.
