Everyday is far from ordinary

Last week, while I was out all week from all of my classes, my English professor assigned us a narrative essay to write. He gave us a few options on a topic and we were to come up with our own based upon those guidelines. I chose to write my essay on how my grandma’s death changed my life. The thesis paragraph was very well written and I loved it but beyond that paragraph it royally sucked. It’s hard for me to write about my grandma.

So as I was sitting in my computer class waiting for class to start, I got a new topic for an essay. Basically spending the night and day with Rans made me think of something new to write about. I wanted to write about how my past with males in general caused me to have an “all males are evil” standpoint and how the love and support from Rans made me change my opinion on guys. So ten minutes later, I had a finished essay. The only problem was it was over 1,000 words and had to be under 800 plus, my instructor had not approved the topic.

After computers, I walked into English and immediately made my friend Kathy read both of my essays and tell me which one was better. She picked the one I had just written and when Mr. Hershey went around the room reading rough drafts, he agreed that one was more personable. So now, I have the essay I want and only have to shed a little over 300 words and I’ll be done. Fun. I notice when I’m writing about something I’m passionate about it’s hard for me to limit my word usage. I look forward to fixing that problem throughout this class.

Since it’s February I decided I’d join in the fun of doing the whole 101 things in 1001 days. So, on my sidebar, you will find a link to MY 101 things in 1001 days by clicking here. I’ll put a link up to it on my sidebar.

I just wanted to blog and write about my essay situation. As soon as I have it finished I might post it up here. I really do like it and am proud of my work. I am looking forward to all of my classes but nervous about communications tomorrow. My instructor never e-mailed me back so I’m anxious to see what she will say once I go to class. So until next time, later gators.
