Blah blah blah
Tuesday, October 21st, 2008 07:18 pmHave you ever gotten a grade and felt that it was totally unjustified and undeserved?
Now have you ever gotten a good grade, nay a perfect grade and felt the same way?
I got a perfect score on my mid-term for one of the classes and it rankles me because I didn't deserve it. I know I didn't deserve it. Hell, I wouldn't have given myself a 100 and it was my mid-term. It's frustrating. I don't just want the grade, I want to deserve the grade. YOU ARE TAKING ALL THE FUN OUT OF LEARNING, MR. PROFESSOR.
At least they turned to heat on in my office. Of course it's still too cold, but at least now I'm not wearing three layers of clothing and still feeling my hands stiffen. I have a small space heater that I also run and that seems to keep in pleasant in there.
In other news, my inspiration is still in the toilet. All I've managed to do on the writing front is editing and writing on a novel of mine. It's now up to 46 pages (or about 25,000 words). Not even near being ready to show other people though. I'm looking at all the drabble requests and just... nothing. There's no spark. It's annoying and I know it's got to be annoying listening to me complain about it.
Anyone have any suggestions for getting over writer's block? Usually I just wait for it to go away, but dammit, I'm too impatient this time for that.
