I lose

November 5, 2005 at 7:43 PM

Oooooh, I am so MAD!
I submitted an essay on Why I love Math for a scholarship, and when I saw the results, I was positively dumbfounded; the winner didn't even write on the assigned topic (why you love math)! She included fragments, had no thesis statement that was supported, and just talked about a math competition.
No offense to whoever wrote it, but formal writing should never be done that way.
So now I'm ticked that I lost to something like that.

I'm going to try a poetry scholarship now.
I figure I can just write something totally soppy and weird and un-like me, and I'll win something.
I already have some ideas.

Non of this has anything to do with violin.
I don't know why I'm even writing about it.
I'm just mad and scared that I won't be able to get money for college.
That's a really scary thought.

Just write something that confuses the heck out of you, and someone will call it brilliant and pretend to get it. Hopefully, it will be the judges.

eg: what does eg mean?
is it a noun or a verb?
why do I care?
