Determinations...

Ahhhh, the first days of a new quarter at a community college...invigorating....not. Think about what it would be like to have the "first day of school" every three months for a whole year--new classes, new faces. Yeah. It's like that. Kind of scary, I suppose. You think one would get used to it after two years, but not so much. First day jitters still seem to exist no matter how long one has been going to school.

Ha. I laugh, just because the only person really reading this is me and I write this out of pure boredom. Well, that and the fact that I haven't written a blog since January. Might as well update it. It does feel good to write again, even if it is just my random word vomit. Get stuff out of the brain and somewhere else...I am kind of scared to get back to writing my usual stuff though. Someone told me it was way too emo and depressing...although I DID ask for his opinion and constructive criticism if he had any for me. I try not to be emo...really. I just want to show things by looking at both light and dark...it's hard to appreciate the light if you've never seen the darker side of life. And my pieces usually end with a light or with hope. I never end them in a depressed mood.

But maybe everything I write IS starting to sound all the same. I just like to be creative and let the words come out...and sometimes they all randomly fit together. I get these images in my head, but since I am no good at drawing, painting, or anything of the sort, I have to describe it with words. Writing is art, no matter how cliche that is and only real writers know what that means. You have to create a picture in someone's mind and you must write in specific way, so the picture appears in the reader's head the same way it appears in yours.

Laughing again. So there's some random thoughts on writing and college. Be entertained.
