1. Im not going to lie, I was worried about this class when I first came in because I thought it was going to be a lot of writing that I wasn't going to want to do. I'm not a big fan of short stories and I was scared that that was going to be all we did. Then we started our assignments and I wasn't limited on what I could do. I was soooo happy. My first assignment: "I Am" poem- This piece was a challenge, surprisingly. It took me a while to decide what I was comfortable saying, how I wanted to say it, where I wanted to put it. But in the end I was satisfied with it. There was another piece that I wrote and it reminded me of my family. The food piece we all did, it's my favorite. It brought back wonderful memories and I enjoyed writing it a lot. I want to write more things like that. Pieces that I didn't really enjoy were the ones where we started with a random sentence and tried to make a story out of it. Like I said, I don't really like writing stories. ha
2. I want to talk about a specific person in this class and a specific piece in her blog. Hanna Auman's memorable passage. I've always admired her for her extreme honesty. Things like that about myself I know are true but I don't think I could ever get myself to post it anywhere to several people willing for them to read it. I love that passage of her's because of her honesty and the fact that she will admit to her flaws, the fact that she actually recognizes them. People that have issues like that and don't see it at all or won't admit it at all bother the hell out of me. It makes me so mad. I love you Hanna!
I've started a new book just recently and I actually really like it do far. I'm not very far into it yet but it's keeping my attention which I like. It's hard for me to find a book that I can actually stick to.
3. When I was first told about the blog, I did not like the idea at all. I thought I was going to hate it. Then I bucked up and did a few of the assignments and I saw how much I could make my blog like me and personalize it and I thought, "Ok. Maybe this won't be so bad." The more assignments we did the more I started to like it. I started to write at home on my own more (although I didn't ever post any of it, more of a personal thing) which I had been even before this class but I realized how much I really did learn just from writing what I was thinking, feeling, seeing, hearing. It's helped me a lot lately and I'm glad.
I would like to continue using my blog on my own but I know me and how busy I am outside of school so honestly I probably won't.
4. Most of the things written in my journal are posts on here or class assignments we did together. There are a few sentimental or personal writings in there though. I mainly did those in my own notebook that I knew nobody would be looking in. And, yes, I will definetly continue journaling. I pretty much always have on my own and I love it. I'll write about what Im thinking, anything and everything thats going on. Pretty much anything thats on my mind or that I want to get off my chest that I don't want to tell anyone else.
5. Everything is in slow motion now while your floating through the air. All you see is calm, bestilled water about to be awakened. our braced for impact and... your sinking... slowly... inch by inch... centimeter by centimeter. The sun is up above. Your try to reach out or it but can't seem to move. The light is fading... fading... fading...
6. Nothing but the sound of birds singing and the dishes clanking in the kitchen. Nothing but the smell of sweet and salty mixed together with a hint of grease. Nothing but the feeling of happiness, calmness, and hunger. Nothing but the thought of which engredient comes next, how much, or when is the food going to be ready? ............. Nothing but the sight of my favorite food laying in front of me. Nothing but the sweet, sticky syrup mixed with fluffy, circular bread laying on my tongue. Nothing but the sense of accomplishment and satisfaction. Nothing but the sound of chewing, slirping, and the occasional small talk in between mouthfulls and two little girls giggling at little things. ........... Nothing like being with my cousin, aunt, uncle, grandma, grandpa, father, sitting at one table together. No TV, no radio, just country and cows and hummingbirds outside of the window. Nothing like those mornings.
7. I want to tie a piece of my work and translate it into a painting. I get a sense of pride when I write something and Im happy with the finished product. It differs because school writings, I'm usually given a prompt. I like to go wherever I want to go.
8. I think we all are talented and I have grown from this class. I don't really understand how but I can feel a difference inside myself. I'm not ashamed of my writings, and I don't feel so silly when I write at home on my own. I hope everyone has the same feelings about this class as i do.
9. I'm very appreciative of what you have taught me in this short time, Mrs. Fraser. I've had an awesome time and I'm going to miss you!!! Again, thankyou :)

Thanks, Brittany. I'm so glad you enjoyed the class and got something out of it. My son loved your Teddy's Christmas book and told me all about it. I hope you keep writing and blogging and that life brings you all sorts of love and luck. Take care.
