An open letter to the people in my English class:

Look, it's not that fucking hard, okay? Either do the reading or fake it in class. Do NOT, under any circumstances, admit you have not done the reading.

A confession: I did not do the reading. I had not so much as taken the book out of my car since the last class. When I showed up in class, I didn't even know what the theme of the essays in chapter 10 was. Thanks to the fact that I didn't have a writing implement when the essays we were to read were assigned, I didn't even know which essays out of chapter 10 we were to have read. I faked every damned thing that came out of my mouth, and I can say without the slightest hint of arrogance that I was the biggest single participator in the discussion of the essays in class. At the absolute worst, I tied with one other guy. About three of us were thanked by the teacher at the end of class for being the ones who participated, and she thinks we're the only ones who read the material. She has absolutely no idea that I didn't.

I'm not saying that I'm a genius and I'm talented. It's just not that fucking hard to fake things. Read ahead while people are talking and then offer insights about what you just read. Make reference to a couple of things that you just got to. That's all you have to do.

Really, school at what is, after all, a community college really isn't that bloody difficult. Do the work, and if you don't do it, act like you did. Christ.

Also, if you participate, I look like less of a brown-noser when I answer the question after you've all stared at the teacher blankly for a good fifteen seconds after a question is asked. It's getting really annoying.



This entry sounds really arrogant. It's really not meant to be, I'm just frustrated. I mean, I'm an honest person. Only when it comes to class am I like that, because I procrastinate. But I couldn't believe today. I got a "B" on the essay I handed in, and was one of only six people in a class of about 25 who got that grade or above. And it was the semi-shitty, half-assed essay that I mentioned not doing two entries ago.

Man, no matter what I write about this, it comes across as bragging. Just trust me, it's not. It's just amazement. I avoided college for this long and it turns out either this class is misleading or the bar is a lot lower than I estimated.
