Finding My Voice

It's been a while since I've updated this blog. My semester has been good so far. I like most of my classes. I have mixed feelings for one, but I'm really enjoying the reading. I only really have trouble keeping up with one class, but that's my fault since I spend most of my time on social networking sites and watching T.V. Mostly The Voice, but what can I say, I got hooked on that show last season. Anyways, I'm actually pretty worried about a few things coming up ahead. This is my last semester (hopefully, I need to pass my classes!) and I'm pretty nervous and excited about that. I have had so many people ask me what I'm going to do after I graduate and I have no real plan. I have no work experience and a degree won't really help me much. I need to gain some experience, but I don't know where I should start. Then there's the idea of going to graduate school. Obviously I'm not planning on going right away. I never really gave any thought to

Embracing Uniqueness

This year has been quite a different one from what I'm used to. I've had to deal with things beyond my comprehension and I've learned things about myself along the way. One good thing that I've managed to gain from everything is that I've gotten a little more confident in my writing. I'm not at the place I would like to be, but I think I'm getting there. Part of my confidence stems from the professors that I've had. I've received a lot of feedback, both positive and constructive. I still can't consider myself a good writer because I think there's always room to develop and grow. Right now, I'm just trying to enjoy the summer break, but I think I should also use this time to come up with some ideas for a possible first novel. I have some ideas, but they're still not fully flushed out so I need to work on them some more. Writing a short story is more difficult than it seems, so a novel is going to take a lot of thought and a lot of draf

New Semester

I haven't written a blog for a while. The reason was that I wanted to take a break from going online during my break. Since I'll be using my computer extensively now that I'm back in school, I decided to write a blog today. So far, my classes have been ok. It's too soon to judge based on the fact that I've only attended one lecture for each of my classes. I've only been introduced to what we'll be doing over the course of the semester so there's not a lot going on right now. I am a little anxious and concerned about the amount of work I'll be having. I hope I can keep up with it all because I have a tendency to procrastinate which I know isn't a good thing. I guess I've just gotten used to working under pressure which can be a good thing and a bad thing in some cases. Speaking of getting work done on time, I should probably start my homework due tomorrow lol. I might not be able to blog once a week, but I'll try to update whenever I get
