Today I heard that my geography teacher (school is fun, man) told another class that the massive piece of work I did on the Nile was "mind blowing stuff". I am assured this wasn't sarcasm...emphasis on the 'assured'...Amazingly the subject I enjoy the least seems to be the one that I get most acclaim in! When he gave it back to me he said that "it's not an essay...more like a book". I think that's a complement. Emphasis on the 'think'. Emphasis on the 'emphasis". I learnt that a bit of praise, especially when you don't expect it, is worth the effort.
I suppose when you work hard for something (like recognition from a teacher) you tend to get it in the end. I'd like to think that applies to most things for everyone because I reckon if you put effort into something then you often deserve for that effort to be recognised...most the time anyway.
I also learnt a bit about William Godwin in anticipation for our politics class covering Anarchism in the coming weeks.
Godwin was bald after his hair fell out. He blamed it on the state.Emphasis.
