The Trouble with Rose. Amita Murray
is the right direction or not. But it is a direction, the direction of the books that have saved me in the past.
And I need a direction right now.
‘I can do it. I know I can,’ I told Professor Grundy.
I tried to keep at bay the trickle of panic that was trying to climb up my skin. I couldn’t go back to having no direction. I couldn’t.
‘Hmm,’ Professor Grundy said. ‘The thing is, we ask you to do a report on something you’ve read, you can do that. You can do a critique. When pushed, you can deliver a summary, a decent one. But we ask you to develop your own writing on the subject, and, well, how much of that have we seen so far?’
‘Not enough?’
‘No, Rilla. We haven’t seen anything. Not a page, not a word. We can’t have you be a student here for life. You can’t just be here in this programme so you can take notes. You have to make a choice. Either write something or leave. You’re not a romantic, you know how things work. Which is it going to be, Rilla? Sink or swim?’
You’re not a romantic.
My professor says I’m not a romantic, and Tyra says I’m too much of one. So, which is it? You know, I just don’t know.
