Compliment

I was kind of having a crappy morning. Nothing happened, I just can't seem to wake up. I feel like I took a sleeping pill, but I didn't. I just want to go back to bed and I already slept until like 11am. Blah.

Anyway, I forced myself to get online to do homework. I checked my grades and my fiction workshop teacher had my grade up for the critiques we did  in week 2.

All the critiques I got back from my group were real simple, just mentioning a few typos or passive voice or commenting on things they liked. Last week I started worrying that I went overboard with my critiques and that she'd yell at me for not doing them right.

n3m3sis42 can attest for the thoroughness of my constructive criticism. Well I got my grade and a note with it saying "This is some of the best constructive critique that I've seen in an ENG 329 Class! YAY! Can I use parts as a sample for the class?"

I just sat there blinking.

I mean, I was really worried. I almost cried the other night while I was revising my own story thinking my critiques were horrible. I was planning on not doing the same thing this week because I felt so bad. Then I get this compliment and was blown away.

It's been a weird morning.
