Are you saying I shouldn't have judged the girls so harshly? I suppose at first i wasn't really expecting much from them, but I also thought I could help them. I was wrong, so so wrong. Was expecting something different from a different configuration of students wrong?
Plenty of friends have read my shorter stories too, but without any sort of actuall writing background their feedback generally just consists of "I liked it." There really isn't any seperation between that type of responce and the ones I recieved from my group. Prof. Gillard promised me a 'good' group after the Spring Break, I'm sure you'll hear from me before then.
I wish. . . .
