AAAAAH!! I wrote that stupid essay, wasted my time trying to read a stupid book that I would have enjoyed had I read it at my own pace, and then find out just like 2 minutes ago that I didn't even have to write the essay!!!!! Grrrrrrrrrrrr...... That makes me so frustrated because some of the trouble with my friend would have never happened... only some... if my teacher would have told us that last week. Doggone!!! But no. She waits until after the essay is written to decide it is extra credit. Oh well. More practice writing.
