Farewell dear blog...I shall miss thee

Sadly, I will not have the use of my beloved computer for a few weeks while I am up in Tallahassee studying espanol dos and working at Publix. I will be staying with a friend of mine, and will try not to use their family computer too much. So, as a result, my blog will be *sniff* abandoned for awhile, until I can reunite with my desktop in Orlando....so farewell for a few months...I shall return as quickly as possible!

Green Apple Jones Soda

Today Brigitte and I took a day off of school to work on our papers for class. So far, she has written all of her research paper...and I am sitting here writing this entry because I have writer's block. I am frustrated and do not know how to start my paper. I HATE this feeling. I have to watch a movie and decide whether it is portraying class, gender, sexuality, or race. Then write about it using examples from the plot and film techniques, texts we have used in class, and class notes. WHY IS THIS SOOO HARD FOR ME TO DO? I don't understand....it really shouldn't be this hard. but it is. AHHHHHH! So I continue to drink my Jones Soda (Green Apple flavored) --which is surprisingly tasty!--and hope that by some miracle when I watch this movie again words will begin to flow and I can write something down!! ugh.

It's not helping that I know I am going to be up until 2 am. I have the late shift monitoring at our social tonight...and I really really really do not want to do it. I just want to write this paper, get it over with and go to bed. But looks like God has other plans....why? I also don't feel too well. Great, just the way I wanted to end this semester...complaining and feeling frustrated.

2 full years!

Wow, I've made it two whole years on this blog! Yay for posting! :)

Long lost post...

*I wrote this on the back page of my notebook when I was at Barnes and Noble one day and totally forgot about it until today, when I found it there...so here's my long lost post, finally making it to my blog, like I had originally intended, so long ago!

2/14/2005

Barnes and Noble a place where one can browse literature, smell that calming bookbinding smell, and imagine my own books on the shelf-- screaming to be picked up and read--offering pearls of wisdom or insight into the world through my eyes. What would it say? Random descriptions of my people-watching adventures? Times of reflection when my mind, captured by thoughts, pondered life deep into the night? No...that wouldn't sell...but then nothing I write would sell because it's all a dream...and my thoughts remain my thoughts, written down in notebooks and sometimes blogs, waiting to be re-read, experienced anew, and laughed at as life continues forward. But as for now...I try and focus on my studies as I sit in Starbucks, watching the world pass away outside this window, sipping my mint mocha wishing I had time to continue writing...
