All under control…or so I thought

You know those days when you wake up, and you think you know exactly what you’re going to do with your day, and everything that’s going to happen, and it doesn’t end up that way? Well, that was my day. I’d planned to study those subjects for which I’d missed classes, and maybe read a bit. At first it

Love and Loss

I’ve just escaped from Communication Disorders 261. Honestly, it’s the most boring class ever, and I just totally zone out. Can’t learn anything. The droning did help me to concentrate on something though, so I did manage to write a wee poem. It’s not very good, since I don’t even read poetry. Love and Loss

My Weekend

It’s almost the end of the weekend. Time passes so quickly, even when there’s nothing going on. Saturday, I spent almost the entire day on the computer. I wrote half of my essay, but just today, I decided that what I’d written wasn’t good enough. It was hugely convoluted and sounded like straight narrative. I’m

On Concrit

I’ve had a pretty average day so far. Not much happened. I got up ten minutes later than usual because I had a late start this morning. The first thing I did was grab my journal to write my one page every morning. I wrote some pretty funny typos, or rather ‘writos’. One of them

Chance Encounter and Other Fanfiction

Um, yes, I have not written for a day, or was it two? I seriously can’t remember. Not that there’s much happening in my life. I’ve been glued to computers, and criticizing bad writing on the net. Oh, and I plowed through five history books on the crusades while researching stuff for my essay. That

The Key to My Imagination

I have not written anything at all today, mainly because I slept in. Everything seems to be closing in around me. I have two essays to write, a test on Monday, so many history books that I need to read. I need to learn the first three Crusades, and all the evidence I’ve found about

Normality is expensive…

Today is the first time I’ve acted like a normal adolescent for ages. No, it’s true. I went shopping alone right after class because I had four hours until the next one. Took the bus to the mall, and went straight to Borders to get my long-desired moleskine. However, the style I wanted (normal lined

Practicality vs. Imagination

Ah, it is a bad start to a new term. I fell asleep in Linguistics for the second day in a row. Okay, I know I can catch up with the work by just reading the text book, so why do I even bother turning up to class? Still, maybe I should make it a rule

Smoothly? Perhaps…if I’m lucky

The first day of term/semester is always smooth, because after a long rest, I have finally saved up enough motivation to do what I’m supposed to do (i.e. apply myself to my studies) for at least three days. Afterwards, who knows. Then again, this morning, I stuck to my ‘rise early for writing’ regime, and

Camel, Spatula, Venice

Okay, so the challenge is to write a piece — not too long — with these three words.  Disclaimer: All the characters mentioned here belong to Disney. They’re not mine.
