Are You Kidding Me...?
Okay, what the
shit
was that episode?
I realize that after three seasons I should not be surprised by this bullshit but...ughhhh, after a hiatus LIKE THAT and a cliffhanger LIKE THAT I thought that maybe, just MAYBE, we'd get some kind of emotional closure. Not to mention you can't be knocked out cold for what, TWO DAYS, and then wake up good as new in the next episode. That is not how medicine works, Show. What the hell are they giving Ty and Jake on this damn show and where can I get a hit of it during finals?
In all seriousness, though, it's frustrating. I mean, I'm happy they rescued Sarahbelle, don't get me wrong, but
we knew that was going to happen
. Remember back last season when they actually talked instead of just burning shit down? I'm getting to the point where I like fanfic more than the actual show, and that's pretty disconcerting and I don't really know what to think about that, except right now what I'm pretty sure I'm thinking is WHO THE HELL IS GOING TO WRITE A FIX-IT FIC, AND WHO WILL LINK ME TO IT RIGHT THIS SECOND.

Dear Genevieve, |
I've looked over your outline for your paper on the French Revolution (and thank you for turning this in on time! I know how averse you are to showing early drafts of your work, and I was hoping having a required outline submission would help you) and while I think you're chock-full (as we used to say!) of strong ideas, I'm concerned that the organization of your supports isn't as strong as it could be. In light of your recent A minus, I want to make sure you're not allowing yourself to perform at less than one hundred percent. Colleges can revoke admissions at any time, you know! Please come see me as soon as you're available-- |
Best, |

Hi, Mrs. McKlesky, |
Thank you so much for getting back to me so quickly! Tonight and tomorrow I'm focusing on some work from one of my other classes, so I won't be able to fully focus on your paper until Thursday, and since I'm working with a limited time frame I want to make sure that I'm committing as much time to this paper as I can! Therefore, I don't think it would be strategic for me to dole out my thoughts on this paper throughout the week, so at this point if it's all right I think I'll proceed on my own. I'll make sure to save your email to remember to make that a priority through my future drafts. Thank you, and I'll see you in class tomorrow! |
Thanks again, |

It's Tuesday. It's the day after my fandom Holy Night. Leave me the fuck alone. |

Author's Note:
I wrote this instead of a French Revolution paper, so I apologize if there are accidental undertones of rebel uprisings or Catholic unrest. Forgive my school, it knows not what it does.
