The perils of grad school

Trying to write a 2 page response on an author presentation from my children's lit class last week.

...Writing a paragraph on how the author made me cry and re-evaluate my life is probably not what my professor wants, right?

Because, uh, my presentation notes are sketchy because I literally sat there repressing tears for most of the class, ha. And I may have babbled embarrassingly at the author during the break about how she had said some stuff that I really needed to hear at the moment.
