Might want to brush up on your spelling before you send it. Unless that's part of the stream-of-thought way that you like your writing to be.

You're what's wrong with the college system today.
Grade inflation, etc.
If you truly are an artist and you're more concerned with the creative side of things then you shouldn't be so fucking worried about your grades, and it seems that you're not, as you're slacking off THIS BADLY.
I still can't fathom that you're close to failing a course that has online work. Those are complete bullshit courses. Also, it's a lit class. You can sleep through a lit class and get A's. I know, I do it regularly.
Suck it up and grow up.

Wow , ok so you failed the class the first time around, and now the 2nd time around you are going to fail the class again, yet you have the nerve to say how great your papers are, and that this is a total injustice.
Failing something twice kinda shows you don't care enough.

Actually, I thought the OP's letter was sincere and well-written. A little melodramatic and long-winded when you consider that professors don't have too much time to read, but other than that, decently written.
Given the situation, it would've been better to cut it to two paragraphs and skip out a bit on describing the beauty of your papers~

LOL? It has nothing to do with people like me, it's a broken system designed to teach tests and advance university standing at the cost of education. Please, you talk out your ass. This was not a complete bullshit course, it was a very difficult course made more difficult by inept TA's and a rather inept professor. I knew more about Dante than she did, and she's got a fucking doctorate.
Everyone in this thread jumps to these amazing assumptions about how I'm such a slacker, I'm 'that guy'. I'm especially amused by the guy that said 'go buy a style guide' LAWL. I'd love to read your 'style guide' influenced writings...
And re: the one typo, I noticed it and fixed it before I sent it.

Maybe you should post some of your "balls to the wall" papers here in the blog and we could read through it.

I would but I delete them cause I'm a) ocd about my documents folder and b) a moron

Fighting the power isn't the way to go. if you want to pass the class you have to conform to whatever writing style your professor expects of you.
You really just sound like an arrogant lazy douche and whether or not that is the case isn't relevant. If everyone here perceives it that way, chances are your professor will too. Remember that time you made a thread in a strategy forum and came off as an egotistical jackass and then got super mad when people called you out on it?
This is a pretty similar situation right now.

writing all of your thoughts without any planning/structure and then throwing them away immediately afterward doesn't strike me as a very academically successful method

Holy shit I hope you didn't actually send that.

OP sucks. If you got to college you should be able to write an essay in the correct format and style.

... Actually she, being half-retarded, said, 'While that's certainly an idea, I think the Newton thing was a myth!' well NO SHIT SHERLOCK. She had no idea that Newton published post-death of Milton. She's unbelievably stupid. And the apple story is actually quite clever if it worked... the theory of gravity and newton's influence in that day paralleled with the fruit of the tree of knowledge? THE TREE OF KNOWLEDGE? It's completely applicable, if inaccurate. If the dates were different, I think I could make a strong case for it.

lol. ur a fine writer. good luck i suppose. there was 1 grammatical mistake tho, the part where u said "we are hear to..not there to.." mispelled "here" lol so he might smell a sense of quickly-typed-bs. but buddy...dont slack in classes that are not of your interest. i know its easier said than done, but declaring that you're a music major is not an excuse, nor a reason to do poorly in other areas. especially when ur not bad at classes like this one for example. just try harder and dont take classes that ur not interested in unless u have to, and if u do dont fail them twice =X let know what he says!

Damn, Jerebread beat me to the typo lol.
Hahahahaha, oh you artists. Not a SECOND YEAR ENGLISH CLASS OMG - I have to be able to write in a concise and constructed logical manner instead of just spewing out whatever comes to mind stream-of-consciousness style? I hope you pass the class, if only because universities need your tuition to afford expensive lab equipment.

This is a pretty similar situation right now. Lol you're a huge douche and anything you say is immediately filtered by me. Thanks anyway.
And really, your opinions of me aren't ... valid? ... I'm not really concerned with how a bunch of nerds feel about me... you can tell me the email was too thick and I'll believe it, or that it won't work and I'll think you're probably right, but your opinion of me is rather useless because you're looking through your own eyes which are most likely filled with stupid.

Hahaha this guy has to be a troll.

You're defending an argument that is literally objectively wrong, and you're calling your professor retarded for calling you out on it?
