Sign up tomorrow!

Tomorrow at 8 a.m. I will be signing up for classes for next quarter! I'm really excited, but nervous because I'm afraid all the classes I want will be full by the time I get to register. It gives me headaches when I have to rush about to remake a new schedule when the classes I want are full...

In English class today we got our first poems back. I got a check + on mine, which I guess is good. He says he doesn't like giving letter grades to poems, and the check system goes from check - - to check ++, so I guess check + is good, right? I'm editing that snow poem like a crazy person today since in class we peer edited poems and the three people who reviewed mine weren't too thrilled about it. One girl called it "3rd grade" and cliche, which I suppose it sort of is, but still it's always frustrating to hear those sort of things. But everything you write can't be a winner!

So now I'm editing and trying to rework it to make it more interesting/entertaining/deep. Psh all this writing stuff is hardwork.

I've been looking at this one girls' fashion blog for the last hour or so, and I'm so inspired by it mainly because she travels all around the country in a big old RV and takes pictures of all the places she goes. Basically that's what I want my life to be like. At least for a little while. Traveling out of the country is cool, but there's so much here in the U.S. that we don't necessarily know about. I think it would be a great experience to travel around in an RV like that. And while I'm at it, maybe I'll actually get down to reading On the Road by Jack Kerouac and be all hipster and deep and stuff.

We'll see what happens I suppose.

  1. Good luck getting the right classes.

    Well, I liked the snow flake poem but then the last good poetry I wrote WAS in the 3rd grade, in fact!

    Blue Highways by Least Heat Moon and Travels with Charley (In Search of America) by John Steinbeck are much more about traveling around the country than is On the Road, which is more about a style of life - but, since I've read them all, they must be excellent!

    OK - back to daily life. My NaNoWriMo is stalled due to toehr obligations, soon to resume.

    Maybe snow coming a bit here this weekend - drive safe.
