So I've been home for what, a couple of weeks? And this is the first time I've updated? Amazing. Anywho, I wanted to share the stuff that I wrote in class (Phantom Fiction) with the old f-list because for once I feel like I actually did some good work. It'll be mostly journal entries, but I've also got a critical essay and a short story to post, so I'll put everything in separate posts. A lot of my journal entries just kind of cut off because I ran out of time, so please keep that in mind. I'll also include some of my instructor's notes because to put it simply, Gerry is AMAZING.

Title: N/A
Length: Journal entry, 63 words
Assignment: If you were a person living in the Victorian era, would you want to visit the 21st century?

Envisioning the world two centuries into the future is a nearly impossible for almost anyone today, myself included. There is absolutely no sure way to predict events that may shape society, or what affects they may have. For this reson, I have come to bemoan the idea of what could lie ahead. should industrialization contine, will oppression of factory workers continue as well?

Gerry's notes: I noticed you seemed to have trouble getting started on this entry, but what you came up with was very good--rather than imagining the Victorian as some type of time treker, you imagined them as a futurist. I wonder what your Victorian would have come up with?
