Ok so I'm going to have a rant. Catherine just asked me for the mark I got on the last assessment piece and do you think I could find it? No! I mean you think your doing the right thing cleaning up and tidying your desk etc but really in the long run it dosent pay. I had it on Friday and now it has vanished. Add to that, the fact that I have two thirteen year old ferals ,wrestling in the lounge room, the dog is having a nervous breakdown under the table and I think you could say that I'm having a very bad day. Valium if available would be great right now.
Gossip is, that someone had a hissy fit in class the other day, after taking offence at something someone wrote. I have a problem with that. I think if you are going to be that precious then perhaps you should not be in a writers course, where you are expected to expose yourself to some degree. The person who wrote the metaphoric piece did not intend any malice and tried to apologise when she realised the effect it had had. The tearful drama Queen refused to accept. How petty.

And youknow what? Thats what i said to Freya and Linda when they were talking about it on Thursday. Not acceptable behaviour.
I have to agree with you, Vi. It's not good behavior. Why take offense? Some people are too sensitive and need to get over that, very qickly. They won't last long in a writing course where stuff like that happens all the time. No teacher should have to edit themselves either, to avoid conflict.
oh dammit! I wish I knew who it was you were talking about, then I would consider what I actualy thought about it. Oh well, I do think people have to be prepared to accept criticism, but then I also know that not everyone is in the same frame of mind and giving them a baptism of fire isn't always the best course of action.
But that's just what I think.
Thanks for the comments guys. I know what you mean Ian, about some people not being ready but this particular person takes great pleasure in annoying everyone else and making snide comments. So as far as I'm concerned, "If you can't take the heat stay out of the kitchen."
