I get it...

So after many, many hours spent convinced that this essay was impossible and cursing Skeletor and his impossible assignments, I all of a sudden understood what we're supposed to be getting at. If you have a detailed analysis of one play, taking only things common themes such as filial infidelity can aid understanding of both plays because they have a lot of similar themes. I realize that everyone else probably got this long before I did, but recently I had a lightbulb moment and I wanted to share it. I've noticed a theme in the assignments we get in that I spend a lot of time thinking they're stupid and impossible, and then all of a sudden I get it and I'm glad we've been forced to do it. I guess we'll just all have to bear with me while I complain about it for a few days.

You wrote: "I guess we'll just all have to bear with me while I complain about it for a few days." You don't graduate until JUNE, girly. So really, "days" should be changed to "months" (unless you are turning over a new leaf?).

JK. And: you are welcome. I would/will NEVER ask you to do something pointless. I promise. Can't wait to read it.

Don't get your hopes up, this doesn't mean it will be a great essay... And I did mean "a few days" per assignment, but I suppose since now I know all assignments have a purpose and aren't impossible I can skip the complaining part and assume it will all make sense eventually. Or I could continue complaining because it's fun and it helps build my vocabulary as I come up with new and more fun ways to do so. Maybe we should take a vote in class.

That's it: double lunch and a vote tomorrow.

Can we? All this writing is exhausting. Better yet, can we finish the mock letters of rec?
