Disappointment, rage, and tiredness all walk into a bar...

So I got a 78% on my poetry criticism. Mainly, as far as Patrick and I can tell, because I thought the flowers were women, instead of symbols of youth and innocence.

Wait... so I read too much into the poem?

Patrick says I should write my professor a note, or go in and contest my mark (and, of course, explain why). I, however, dislike confrontation, even if it is non-violent and non-angry. I can feel the aura of disapproval at my grade-grubbing right now... it clings like octopi to my unblemished skin! Aiee!

Still, maybe Patrick has a point. My essay was worth more than 78% (and, as he pointed out, all the other comments are along the lines of 'Insightful!' and 'Good point!').

Votes?

I realized when Patrick dropped me off today that I'd left my bag at his place. Thankfully, I still had my Italian binder, so I could do up my marks for the Italian lab, but I don't have my Italian textbook, so I couldn't study.

Meh. I'll do fine. I've got it all memorized already... well, except the vocabulary. And that, I can make damn good guesses about.

-ei
-esti
-ebbe
-emmo
-este
-ebbero

And I should think (briefly) on the mini-essay topic of "what I plan to do over the Christmas vacation".

Which leads me to my rage:

My exams are on the 16th and 18th of December.

Lord of the Rings: Return of the King comes out on the 17th.

There had just better be good weather on the eve of the 16th so that Dad will come and get me... or there will be RAGES! OF PAIN!

Other than that, I think I've finally decided on the Mage character I'm going to play in the game Patrick and Adrian are starting. Akashic Brotherhood! Street kid! Whee!

And I have a background for her and an idea for her Avatar and all my foci, too.

Now, to write all that insanely long character background! Everything! All of it!

"Those in a hurry do not arrive."
"Charlie, what does that even mean?"
"Go wash the dishes, my child."

I do like the idea of him handing her a book on how to read, write, and speak Korean. And the Go players that are a little weird. And just random fun stereotypes that aren't really.

I like Charlie. Too bad he's... well, I suppose it's all relative, isn't it?

Kill the beast!

I would say, "Go for it! Tell them off! Let them know how things ought to be!"

But I say that to myself a lot, and nothing like that ever happens. Soooo...

Fat lot of good I am for you, huh?

Go and talk to your professor. Tell him/her that I didn't take two hours out of my time to settle for a 78%, and if he/she thinks so he/she's got another thing coming! But seriously, it's not mark grubbing when you did everything right. I mean, come on. You owe it to yourself to at least try.

I think Chorney might be back by the 17th, so perhaps you won't have to count entirely on your dad, eh? If there are rages (of pain) however, I expect to be a part of them. I so very rarely get to rage of pain...

Clowns...I think.

And if Simon does feel the need to rage, he can flail his arms in a great many number of insults and swear words (if he has progressed that far). Oh secret language, I will have my revenge *shakes fist*.
