...having the smartest girl in my English class peer edit my paper D:

She wrote all over my rough draft AND wrote a whole page of comments...I personally found it really upsetting. It was a peer edit, not a critical analysis. She wanted to change my entire essay. We were just supposed to look at sentence structure, spelling, etc. It just seemed...rude? Whenever I peer edit I do my best to tell them how they can make their essay better in the NICEST POSSIBLY WAY, and she just came across as very arrogant and pompous in her review.

fdsgdsgs.

;~;

Have you ever had someone better than you break your heart and crush your dreams?

im that smart girl that writes all over rough drafts i grade like 4 papers dude. annoyinggggggggggggggg.

im not even that good at english! but everyone else is dumb so i always get the dumb stoner kids that grade mine... and write nothing on it

im like damnit .

but yeahhh. i told this one kid he will be sorry for being such an ass to me when im in playboy and he said if i was in playboy he would think damn they lowered their standards ):

i wantaaaaaaaa be a bunnnnnny. ahahahaha.

Yeah, but if I get a bad essay I don't have the heart to tell them what they did wrong. I'm just too nice to tell people how stupid they are </3

I'm like Toilet, the one breaking hearts and crushing dreams on essays. People bitch at me the first time but then they get their paper back a grade or two above what they normally get and I get stormed with them. :(

As for my dreams, my dad mostly. But he's a jerk.

Also we turned our final drafts in and I didn't follow any of her advice and I wrote a damn good essay and I don't care what she says. :(

She's in AP marching band next year, btw. Infact all her classes next year are AP. How can you be in AP BAND? HOW :(

I was always that girl. Still am. And I was always horribly disappointed when I would get mine back and all anyone would write was 'Good job. You use lots of words. What's with all the commas?'. I always hoped someone would do the same to me, so that I could actually IMPROVE. :|

As for crushed dreams... I was really proud of a bunch of art pieces I did in art senior year of highschool. The teacher was gaga over them, so I thought they were great. We went to a thing where college art students could critique our work... And I didn't get a single piece of positive feedback. I was crushed.

AP band is like AP health.

How. Just how.

but I'm a sheltered homeschool kid so I can't say much about editing essays. my sister is an English major and got awards for basically everything she touched, so if I let her see anything I wrote she'd probably have a party with a red sharpie.

I might do homeschool next year, we're planning on moving again. I change schools too much, I've been to like seven. Or more. I can't even remember e______e.

But homeschool seems cool. Free schedule and doing work on my own time. So that means staying up till 4 and sleeping until 2, working from 3-4 and then going back to sleep.

wow, that sounds kinda sucky.

oh god if you get the chance to sleep until 2 DON'T DO IT. it's ruining my life, man. you lose so much daaaay. but I'm cool with homeschooling. I get books from the school board, just not in AP. not that I want to commit suicide with AP biology anyway. but you can get up and make yourself a sandvich whenever you want, so that's a plus.

Yeah...it's humid where I'm moving so sleeping in gets you all sweaty. That's really umcompfortable. I don't really like sandwiches.

OH HEY. I'm like, four posts away from the 100 post mark, and it's the last achievement I need for the blue building :D!

Luls, that girl reminds me of me. Seriously. I do that to my friends. I am a freaking perfectionist.

I could have but...no. I'm pretty shy so going up to her and being like "Oh hi. You hurt my feelings with your big words I NEED AN APOLOGY NOW :(!"

It wasn't like she was trying to hurt me, but she just doesn't realise that not everyone has the vocabulary of a thethaurus-rex.

there's no point in having someone grade your essay if they're not going to give you constructive criticism! in the past when i've edited i tried to keep it positive but that's pretty tough when your whole purpose is making changes. try not to be so sensitive, it's just an essay.

EVENTHOUGH i can't really talk because i hate people reading what i write. :(

I'm that girl. >w> With the red marker in hand. Although, at least I TRY to be nice. D': I always attempt to keep in mind the authors individual style of writing, and only critique things when they are basic grammatical errors or seriously mess with you're word flow.

...

People still complain that I'm an overactive corrector. >.>"

Yeah, I shouldn't be so sensitive about my essay but my parents read her comments too and thought they were too harsh for a peer edit that was supposed to take five or ten minutes (she took a lot longer ;o;)
