I had written an essay for class. i took 1 month to finish and perfect it. and she gave me a freakin' 85!!!!!!! she wrote that this essay was not supposed to be creative! i was like wtf! we're supposed to learn creative writing so i did something creative and you blow it in my face! goddamn!!! i hate her!

That sucks.

But that doesn't make any sense, on her part.

I don't understand how an essay cannot be creative.....................

if it was a creative writing class, then of course you have more freedom.

but i'm guessing this was an academic paper. in general, formal essays are not supposed to be fun and creative. you probably got marked down for that reason.

I'm thinking of entering my essay in a creative writing contest. just to show my teacher up. hee heee..........

Yeah... it's a shame, but it's so true. Just follow the exact instructions and only do what the teacher asks for. A lot of times, if you do "extra" and think you're doing a good thing, or being creative... You'll only get marked down for not doing what was asked of you.

Exactly. Hate on the teacher because you didn't do what you were supposed to. Hatred is the way to go!
