AAAHHHHHHH!!! I'm so mad about getting a 24 out of 30 on my Origin of Evil essay. It's not that an 80% is a big deal or anything, it's the fact that the teacher admitted that she graded them based on length. That is definitely unfair because my writing is very concise and my paper was typed up and everything... I think steam literally came out of my ears.

Vengeful ideas raced through my mind all lunch period and I was crazy enough to scribble over all the asinine comments she wrote on my paper, replacing them with some words of my own! Now that I'm at home, it doesn't seem that serious and thoughts of vengeance have gone away.

What did I learn? I learned that some people don't realize how stupid they sound because they can't remember what they said in the first place. In my case, Mrs. McCann told me that I could use personal philosophy as opposed to a dictionary definition in my paper, and she said that I had to cite a source when I actually did it (I figured the phrase "According to my personal philosophy..." would pretty much cover that) Also, before you seek revenge on someone, give it some time (maybe 24 hours) before sticking to your convictions and making them PAY!
