So I haven't been completely blog-less in the past days since I started school. I have started two posts before this one which remain 'unposted' because they aren't complete yet (I don't know if they ever will be). I wanted to post because I have had this nagging feeling inside of me to post something here and not in my head or my moleskin (which I haven't been writing much in either...).
I've had a lot of trouble with school starting, not getting the classes I had planned all summer for, getting new ones, meeting old friends, dealing with drama, trying to remain social with EVERYONE, doing school work, going to work-work (and not get fired for charging 700$ worth of express cards by accident... whoops...), talking to family, spending time with grandma while mom and dad are away for anniversary, and trying to get sleep.
I'm failing at most (if not all) of these things and need a break where I can organize my thoughts, rest, sleep on some things, and just relax for one day. The last time I did that... feels like ages ago. And it is only Mid-September-ish!
I've been very mad at myself for not having the ability to write creatively recently. I'm going to have to use that relaxation day and dedicate a portion to creatively writing poetry or (what I've been trying to do since forever) create a short story.

I wouldn't beat yourself up too much about not being able to create the way you want to. I know it's frustrating (trust me!) but sometimes having a bit of a gap between 'projects' allows ideas to mill together, even if you don't realize it.
You'll have a reader if you do get to that short story, though! :D
oh dear I still feel dreadful that you did not get into the classes -__- How about I tell you all the assignments and then you can do them anyway but not have to worry about being graded for them? ^^
Sounds good, although with all the school work I have from my classes I can hardly keep up with just 5 classes... let alone 7!!! Let me know though and I will try my best to post items based upon the assignments. <(^^)> This sounds fun!
Okk!! :D
Prof. Covino gave us these writing prompts so far:
Self portrait with an object or abstraction,
Derangement of the senses,
Disgusting feet (yes, really),
Love poem using coded language
For fiction class we had 2 assignments so far:
- A story set in the WTC on 9/11 - character must have no chance of survival (THIS WAS SO DIFFICULT)
- Look at a photograph you know nothing about and write a story about it (in class we have to bring in a photo and exchange it with someone else)
Yes! I can't wait to begin... after I give my oral presentation and take a nap :-P
