It has been awhile since I have posted on the blog because I used to think that the ideas I had to post were not worthy of posting. I wanted to have everything connecting with Intertextuality clearly, to where my words in the text matched my observation. But, that’s not how it goes I’m afraid. We have to take route from our text and apply it to everyday situations.
To my utter despair, I resubmitted my original essay instead of submitting my new and improved essay. Of course, there is nothing I can do now but to think that I made that error on my own fills me with a blind rage. It’s my own fault at the end of the day and I have no one to blame for myself. To be kept with that original grade on the first essay would be completely fair and just.
This is my first year at Geneseo, having transferred from a small community college. That school was like another year and a half of high school and I skated by on my humor and procrastination. I have never had to work as hard as I’ve had since I’ve been here and yet, I’m not even working hard enough. Sure it’s been the worst fall of my life, having my roommate get into a car accident and losing my beloved dog, the greatest thing of my life. But take it from a new Criticism perspective and just look at the work. It’s not up to my full potential. I know, my teachers know it and no amount of tragedy can mask the fact that there is better inside of me. So, I want to say with just the work and not the backstory, my work is mediocre from lack of trying as well. My next essay will be better and I will not submit the wrong one.
