So this semster I have to be magical and creative everyday. Sometimes that is more challenging than exciting. I don’t know why I can’t just use some crazy lie I say in real life and turn that into something, normally people know me as a liar. Why can’t I do that on paper? Just bs and get the assignment in one time? It’s something I’ll have to learn quickly for fiction since my professor wants it spewed like candy corn on Halloween.
I am excited for my non-fiction essay that will be coming eventually. It has to be a longer thing and the one thought that continues back to me is food. Food in all senses: my ever changing relation with food, my knowledge of nutrition, what others think is good, and the fact that I am writing about food in the first place. It’s a large subject in my head and I’m unsure of how to narrow it down to something more compact for the assignment, but that is still a few weeks away.
Also, a side note: I thought this math class was going to be easy and uninvolving. We have group work which pretty much sets up the class as very group oriented— the opposite of what I wanted out of the class. It’s still a 100 level so it isn’t too much of a concern.
I think I will always mention something I’m excited about at the end of posts.
I’m really excited for the weekend and just the fact I don’t have to sit in class or go to work (for that long). I feel like it’s already been a few weeks with the amount of work that everyone already has.
I’m also really excited for Halloween next year. Why? Because me and my roommate, Sam will probably be Sam and Carly from the show ICarly. I’ve never been good with costume ideas but I just think of lots of them now. Kind of a special talent (like peeling hardboiled eggs. I’m the best) of Halloween oriented ideas.
I want my book, The Thing About Life is That One Day You’ll Be Dead by David Shields to come in. I got it for a penny off Amazon (and $3.99 shipping) and ordered it mid last week, so who knows when it’ll come. I need it by this weekend. If it’s anything like the McClannahan book I read in a day, it will be read in a timely fashion.
Clam chowder, powder.
It’s the second day of classes and I have to read a whole book by Thursday, write a response to it, write a 500-800 word fiction story due tomorrow morning at ten, and read two more short stories (which I don’t know how long, but I’m assuming long since it’s an advanced class). PLUS MATH!
Good news though, I finished the story and am almost done with the book. But my semster is looking bleak if this is the just the beginning. I’m still hopeful of a good 12 week (a super tough one) that will help my writing a lot. Planning ahead will be a relevant and important thing to me finally.
Also, my hour break at night is Wheel of Fortune and Jeoprady! Love them game shows. My eyes are bleeding, need to sleep.
More soon?
So, I’m hoping that this will a be a blog of something. I’m not sure if it will get off ground this semster. I have two advanced writing workshops and a math class (all of which I am terrified of). I do need something to be my procrastination tool and this may be it. We’ll find out.
Today I learned that I love all bands that have the word “Black” in the title:
Over and out, Charlie
