october 19th.

when i was in college,
i had an english professor who returned an essay exam i had taken with the grade of "0" on it.
she had gone over every single letter "t" on the paper with a red pen
and across the top had written:
" 't' is a tall letter and should come three-quarters of the way through the lines you are writing on."

and all i could think was:
"the lines on which you are writing. duh."
