Some Things and Critiques

Currently Listening: Ice Dragons by: Noe Venable

I hate it when I have to open a blog by apologising for not posting in a while. But, alas, it happens.

I don't know if I've mentioned this or not, but in my writing class club, everyone has to critique two papers a week. The paper of two different people in my class.

Mostly, there seems to be a general critique that everyone uses:

- "I really liked it, it was a good paper."
- "Your description was nice" or "You need more description."
- "I liked your characters, I could really relate to them."
- "I found some spelling errors, but that's about it."
- "You ended it to quickly, like you rushed it."

The majority of the club members repeat this, over, and over, and over; mostly because no one takes it seriously, and the club is just a free 'A' for them.

Anyway, what I'm saying is, the critiques are nothing to worry about since no one really rips the storey apart and analyzes each small thing. Aside from Tiffany (our club president) and sometimes me (since I'm the vice-president)

So, my cirtique was today. Half of the class did not read my paper, while the other half mooched off of Tiffany's super-analyzing critique. I kind of wanted to slap some people though, because from my point of view, it sounded like they didn't know the definition of 'Fiction'.

Anyway, now that that is out of the way...

Recently, I re-read Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, because I am going through another Faerie faze. The odd thing is, I absolutely do not like Shakespeare, but I really like A Midsummer Night's Dream. So I guess that I am just weird that way. It kind of put me in the mood to write a play script for something. Involving faeries, or just normal people, I have not decided yet.

I have decided not to complain about school in this post, even though it has been ripping me apart by the seams. I shall save the complaining for the next post.

Saterday, I am going to the library to hang out with Melissa. Then, later in the evening, Mom and i are going to the Alice in Wonderland thing that Comme del Arte is preforming and USA preforming arts center. So, this weekend should be fun, if I am not torn to shreds in the meantime.
