Why, in the name of the Lord, would a professor assign a paper that he is not going to grade? I'll tell you why. It's because he's a sadistic little weasel, and I don't like it one bit. My poetry professor has told his class to write a paper on the style of poet, we were told to read a book of poetry. So we read the stupid thing, and get ready to write the paper. (four page minimum) So, last class, he reminds us that our paper is due Tuesday, and, ih by the way, I won't be grading it. WHAT?!? Then why are we writing the stupid thing? I didn't enjoy the book of shitty dark poetry, and I'm definitely NOT enjoying writing this paper. (see earlier rant) So just what the fuck am I supposed to do with this? If I do a really good job on it, all I'll get is a smile and a 'Good Job' written on the paper. If I do a shitty job, he'll give it back to me and tell me to do it again! Exactly what the fuck am I supposed to do? Either way, it's a gigantic waste of time, which is something that I don't a lot of to begin with. And now I have to spend it reading an incredibly trite book of poetry by some depressed fuck up who ended up killing himself, and then writing a fucking paper on the 'Music' of the asshole's poems. And mix that in with a Philosophy paper, which is an entirely different rant, and a 'Group' project, consisting of 7 or more people, 3 of which only show up to the meetings, and you have a kid sitting at his computer trying to stay sane. At least the Yanks are winning.
