Algonkian Class Week 8

I am not too happy with the class at this moment in time. The editors seem to be focused on confining our efforts to the opening of a short story. Can I spend ten weeks working on an opening? Not and be happy about it. Not and pay hundreds of dollars for the privilege.

What's the harm in producing a first draft? In ten weeks of class? Personally I can't plan a story without at least writing a draft. How do I know how to get somplace if I never go there? How do I know I will like where I am going if I don't visit it, or several other alternate places. It makes little sense to me, and in conjunction with my other complaints about the class, is leaving me very sour on the whole experience.
