Who knew we would need this stuff again?

I should have listened in English 11!!!

I came to Advanced Editing today expecting to hear A LECTURE about parts of speech and sentence structure. I had no idea Professor Nyandwi would have us diagramming sentences like we did in high school.

Its' been nearly eight years since I took a class requiring this knowledge, so naturally most of it has slipped my mind.

I'm glad there are only two of us in the class and she is dumber than me. I'm gonna be perfectly honest; I'm not sure that last sentence is proper english (or this sentence for that matter).

I plan to write what makes sense to me, and I can usually put together a coherent sentence.

But should I be reconsidering my major?

Please tell me I'm not the only one who blanked out in class when we were supposed to be learning where to put the gerund on stilts!!!

I should point out that I am still in class while Teach is blabbering about grammar up front, so maybe if I stop typing and pay attention i'll learn something...

That's probably wishful thinking.
