FUCK OFF AND GROW A BEARD AND SOME FUCKING HUMILITY AND THEN COME BACK AND EAT SOME MORE PIZZA YOU SLUT ASS LITTLE HYPOCRITICAL BITCH ASS TITSUCKING CANDY ASSED BABY> FUCK YOUUUUUUUUUUU ok, so yeah. just had to get that out i guess. anyway, like i said, i have absolutely nothing to talk about right now. you know i’m just making some cannabutter, chilling with my computers and shit, answering a few emails, pretending like future me is just gonna be all OVER that grading and stuff and he’ll thank me for the privilege besides, i got some apple and lemon and orange and cinnamon and cloves going on a simmer, i got some tea, i got two cats, it’s like a regular gay ass paradise in here. i just don’t want to do any real work, so fucking sue me. whatever. a ship with sails as tall as a skyscraper scuttles across the bay, towards the bigger waves. different sentence structures. ok, pick a sentence at random and emulate the structure. just start out by literally replacing the values of the variables with other values. ok here we go: > However, before any pronouncement became necessary on the subject of the most appropriate region on which to distribute what I imagined to be his many decorations, his voice took on a more serious note, and he went on: “(speech).” SO there’s a couple ways to do that. You could just swap word for word with a similar part of speech. That’s kind of banal. The next level is to identify the clause-level structure, and repeat that. That leaves more room for variation, and it also requires more abstract analysis. I think I’ll add that distinction into my one am lit assignment that has sentence imitation into it. Easy vs. pro level. OR shit, I gotta think of something to call it that won’t be confusing vis a vis our stupid lying pretends it isn’t a letter grade grading system. But yeah. that would be cool cuz I’m tired of getting lame responses to that part. you tell em in the feedback how to make em better and then exactly 0% of them go back and work on them some more. thirtyeight seconds to go and no end in sight. i accomplished nothing here today, except one fairly significant insight about a particular assignment and how it works and what its underlying structure implies, which, if i give it some thought and don’t just INSTANTLY FORGET IT AFTER I’M DONE HERE, could possibly be generalized to other assignments, and improve my pedagogical awareness. or something.
