What a week!

Whew! Soon I will have free time! It makes me soooo happy! =D I had an assignment this past week to write a memoir for my English class....and I actually enjoyed the project! It took me a while to figure out what, exactly, it was that I wanted to write about, but after reading some of the sample essays we had assigned to us for class readings...I had figured it out! And, goodness! I definitely had to revise that thing over and over again. I'm still going back and looking at it and saying "that doesn't sound right"..and I still feel like it's not quite whole. I'm curious to see what my fellow classmates think about it. I'm also interested in what they have to say in their memoirs! Of course...that will have to be done tomorrow. I feel bad for not getting around to doing this blog til so late..but time seems to like slipping through my fingertips! (I think it enjoys doing that to everyone! ^_^')

The house 'project' is coming along. I'm almost through with everything that I had on my checklist for now. Painted rooms are quite nice! It's amazing what a coat of color can do to an area.

I started writing a little story a while back, and I got to go back today and read some of it. (It's been sitting in my binder that I was using for last semester...finally cleaned out for this semester of school). I used to write stories on a regular basis. My friend also wrote, so we would write and pass them back and forth to one another. I wish I could go back and read one of them! How young we must have sounded! XD I've never been good with inputting dialogue into a story. I know what I want the characters to say, but never know how to 'slide' it into the work. I think I would be better with a play, where I can just put Person 1: and be done with it!

I'm rambling now. I had a point that I was going to make when I got home, but it ran off. I think I need to carry a 'daybook'...it would at least be interesting to look back and read what I have thought about!

Oh! A random thought from earlier. I was outside of one of my jobs, smoking (yes, I know it is bad for me, they'll go away soon) and across the street is a hospital. I'm not particularly fond of hospitals..never have been...was made even worse for when my dad passed away..but I was thinking of hospitals in general. If I was very ill and had to stay at a hospital, I would like it to be more 'serene'. Hospitals are so...clinical (duh, I know). It would be nice to have a room that had a nice big window that looked onto a lush garden or something. Maybe a trickling fountain that you could hear in the hallway or in your room. Then I thought...the more expensive nursing homes are like that. My mom moved my grandma to a room that overlooked a garden and a little pond so when she didn't have the supervision to go outside, she could at least LOOK.

I'm stopping now. I could write forever on the the thought of death and life. Soo....have a good week! Til we meet again ^.~
