Victory!

I don't have to work New Year's Day.

*sighs*

I failed Introduction to Linguistics. Academic suspension, anyone? *weeps*

Just for everyone's information, I probably won't be allowed to write fan fiction for the next semester, if I'm on academic suspension. So, if I disappear, don't be too afraid. ^^

'technical writing'?

why, how very... well, i can't even begin to describe how that sounds to me. it sounds like a root canal of the soul, is what it sounds like. and just as heartless. my god.

i mean, i took the really boring anthro theory course because it was a rec and, moreover, a *good* requirement. despite the oddities of my prof's lecturing style (he said that anthropological theory grew like crabgrass, if that gives you an idea), it was a good and valid course.

but a course on how to write? why? i mean, take joyce and hemingway. they were usually dead drunk when they wrote, and i think that rather counteracts any training they had. i mean, really. and yet look at how celebrated they are.

:sighs: of course, i'm preaching to the choir here, but...

:continues fuming:

and- meh. i just wish people who didn't write could understand. i hope your father comes around.

:hugs:

So do I. My problem with my college courses is there's so much technicality involved. If it's just writing, I'm fantastic. But things like actual *technical* writing, and the hows and wherefores of linguistics, etc. are so difficult for me.

And I don't think technical writing teaches how to 'technically' write, I think it teaches you how to write stuff like the annoying instructions to hook up your V.C.R.?

I wish people would understand more, too. But my father's really iffy about the whole fan fiction, anyway. He thinks it's a waste of my talent. *sighs*
