Bitch-rant of the day:

My fucking-ass Modern Theatre professor. She gave us back our papers yesterday. Mine was on Uncle Vanya. Okay, I was pretty lazy about writing it, but as it turns out, I can write a passable Hunter-standard English paper half-asleep. She hasn't given us many assignments this semester and seems suddenly to have realized this fact, for before she handed them back she said that included in her comments was our next assignment, which would consist of re-writing the paper sticking more closely to her specifications. We're to turn in the first paper and the revision together.

Okay, I says, but then I see my grade, which is an A-, the minus sign obviously having been dashed in later. And the comments, "Much of this is fine: well-written and carefully thought-out." Scrawled above a ^ sign between "much" and "of" she added at the last minute "BUT NOT ALL".

It's so obvious that she originally gave me an A, but realized that if she did that I'd have nothing to rewrite for the second paper.

So now I have to figure out how to perfect an already perfect paper.

What the fuck? Why not just let me have my A and excuse me from the revision, then?
