Alright, let's set up a scene. In this scene you are a teacher and I am your student. You give me an assignment in which you specifically instruct me NOT to do a thing. This thing could be anything, but for this example let's say this thing you don't want me to do is spell check, or check for grammar in an essay. Now, with you telling me NOT to do those things, do you think it's fair that you count off for each spelling and grammatical error I make!? You told me NOT to check! Why should you count off for something I didn't correct when you told me not to even CHECK!? How does that make any sense!?


 Well, apparently it makes sense to my English Comp teacher. SHE thinks it's okay to do that to her students. If you want us to have perfect spelling and grammar then maybe you should let us check for those things and give you a more polished version of the essay, rather than asking for the first draft, and telling us not to correct those things in first drafts!

That's not all though. She tells everyone who asks a different number of words that is required for each essay, she is so unorganized that she doesn't even know what was covered and what wasn't in each class (she teaches the same class twice in a row), so we don't know everything that's going to be on the test (like, right brain/left brain stuff that holds very little baring on the actual class, but is covered in almost ten out of thirty questions on the first test!), she loses student's papers (and blames the students), can't remember which days tests are on, can't move in left > right fashion on the white bored when writing notes for us to copy (which she only does once, so the people in my class don't even know which order they were written because we see what's already there, not what order it was put there in), and after ALL OF THIS blames the students for being unorganized because they're sitting in the back of the class. Now, to her, back of the class is three rows in.

Ugh, feels so good to get all of this out. Hopefully my next entry will be filled with less complaining and more fun/creative things.

Until then, hope you have a goodly day.

P.S. Ignore any grammar and spelling mistakes HERE, I have to spend all night editing my paper and really don't care to spend any extra time on this type of thing.

The Stream of Consciousness: Introduction

Hello, my name is Dev, and this is my blog. I call it the Stream of Consciousness after an exercise I do during improvisation training. The exercise consists of walking around and letting words flow from your mouth before you can even start thinking about them. It's a sort of mental dump that lets you get rid of stress and get thoughts out of your head, much like when therapists will tell you to write without thinking to study what's happening in your subconscious. It's a way of releasing everything that builds up inside of you that can muck up creativity.

So, that is my goal here. To get everything out that builds up in my head. The stress that backs up my creative streams.

 I will also be using this blog FOR my creative ideas. I'll write down things I may be considering to get feedback from anyone who may be reading. Of course I won't be posting too much (would rather not be ripped off by dishonest lurkers out there in cyberspace), but please feel free to give any thoughts you have.

Alright, that's enough for now, will post an actual blog later.

P.S. I love that there are hummingbirds in this blog design or whatever it's called.
