Tonight was the first night of my English 112 class. We had to do one of those writing prompts that aren't graded but are kind of used as the professor's first look at your writing. I suck at these things. I can't just write about stuff off the top of my head like that. I don't feel that it reflects my writing at all. The topic we had to write about had something to do with having arranged marriages in the US because marriages based on romantic love don't seem to be working. I started writing my reaction towards this statement which was that we shouldn't have arranged marriages. Once I wrote one paragraph I re-read the instructions and realized that I was probably supposed to support that statement, not give my opinion. I didn't want to start over and something inside me said to just go with it. Maybe that was because I had just watched The Girl Next Door a couple days ago (if you've seen that movie you should know what I'm talking about). Then the thought of comparing arranged marriages to not believing in premarital sex crossed my mind for some reason unknown to me. I decided to just go with that as well because I thought it was funny. I talked about how sex is an important part of a relationship whether you want to believe it or not and if it's bad it's going to inevitably effect, and could potentially end, your relationship. So with saying that I said not knowing your partner before marrying them could lead to problems just as not having sex before marriage could. I thought it was funny, especially since I'm a virgin. I just hope my professor thinks so as well and doesn't just think I'm crazy. She seemed pretty cool though so I think she'll find the humor in it. If not oh well, it's not like it's graded anyway.
