3rdragonSo last night after the ECC/SSFFS mobwalk (muskrats! bats! playing in river! acorn-cap whistles!), I was hanging out with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
vorindi and doing my homework, and happened to glance at the comments on the bottom of the spanish paper I was revising (read: fixing grammatical errors in) and, surprise surprise, realized that not only was there a comment, but it read, "iExcellente uso de la estructura! Once you correct it, may I make copies for your classmates?" At least, that's what it read after I deciphered it (the handwriting was not the best, and I was expecting it to be in spanish, and was so trying to make it into "eleven j-something archaic-form-of-you-run . . ."
Um. It certainly wasn't the worst essay I've ever written. But I don't feel that it's anything like the best, either. It's a five-paragraph essay in a page and a half. I personally felt that it was sort of mediocre and the thesis was dull, but that was okay because she grades for grammar rather than content.
This class is called Advanced Composition. The fact that a so-so essay I wrote in less than an hour and a half (admittedly over two days, but that's about the amount of time I spent on it) is hailed as an excellent example of the form disturbs me a little bit. I guess I'm glad she liked it, though.
And now, off to Spanish class!
