dor,
yes its something near creative writing I think. It's writing for liberal education. At the end you must submit a 1500 words essay. And what do you mean by swap with someone? (Because I'm pretty good at math and all those computer sciences stuffs, I often found the lectures boring...)
lychee,
I'm discouraged because I was one of the best in high school. I even got the highest grade at our final exam in highschool. Based on that grade on my diploma and my toefl test score they gave me a gold merit scolarship. So now you understand how I feel? She was telling indirectly that I would be among weak people... But still my aim is an A grade, cost what must it cost.
skrmish,
thanks for this inspiring post. I have a good quote that goes along:
Don't tell your God how big are your problems but tell your problems how big is your God. billybrads,
thanks dude. That's inpire a lot. My father told me I would once regret not to have applied for a College immediatly after high school. I remember him telling me that I would cry for that. You know what? I don't regret it a single time. During those 2 years
working for him, I have discovered my purpose, I have created great things for his company, I've learned about Steve, Joel Spolsky, Douglas Bowman and many people thank I admire a lot. I've discovered an important person that completes me. My only notice [that I don't regret] is that I'm many years away from some friends who have gone directly into College. They still enjoy their life purposelessly [you know what I mean?]. I don't anymore...
Megan,
thanks for your reply. I still think I can do it. I've just ordered "On writing" by Stephen King. I've read the electronic version before and it has arrived yesterday, just one day after my post. It's a sign for me. I won't probably get fluent in english in 6 months but I just need my A grade.
Well today I came up with other thoughts. My teacher was right. She is a Dr., before my paper reached her hands, it has been through the helping writing lab tutors. They've not noticed my problems [commas, grammar, etc...] I don't know if it's on purpose but I don't trust them anymore. They probably think I'm very weak in english, that's why they said "Ok, good paper".
But since my teacher want me to do a great paper she helped me more by telling what's wrong
Still, other students papers were damn good... The best I can do is find someone that would help me.
