Walk-a-mile

Feb 29, 2004 17:59

I was going to write an entry about my lunch from hell, but I decided to just post the paper that I wrote about it for N/R. I feel really bad about this paper, I feel like it might be mean, but it's what I think. Please comment if you think it is wrong to turn this in. The only thing you have to keep in mind though is that they want to know what ( Read more... )

the phrase "preconceptions about a person based upon the first impression one gets from him" is redundant. Change the word preconceptions to perceptions, it makes more sense. Sorry if that sounded condescending or contemptuous, i didn't mean it to be.

i don't think that was really a bitchy paper, especially if he didn't even read it. you just said what really happened, and i think it'll be a good change for when the teachers read the paper. i'm sure that most people wrote that they had a wonderful time with their walk a mile partner when most of the time it's probably not true because most people lie about how much fun they had or they just make up the paper all togther(like i did), at least they'll know you're telling it like it was. it sounds like he didn't try to do anything to make you feel better about the situation, so it's his loss for not making an effort to get to know the super cool person you are!

haha, i for sure had to make up my entire project too! it's such a silly activity, NR tries way too hard to overanalyze every single stinking thing that we do.. my teachers would say that like running around in a circle represents the true meaning of life.

haha, that's very true. They always try to make metaphors like, "we had to trust our partners to catch us in this game...or did we really have to trust ourselves to catch us? Maybe next time you will 'catch your mistakes' more often if you have self-esteem!"
okay, that was a bad example, but you get my drift, everything has a meaning and none of them really make sense

yes exactly! they think that they are being super wonderful and meaningful when really they are just being RIDICULOUS.
