In a new blog post, this week we are going to do a free write exercise. All you have to do is just write about your day, your week, or whatever is on your mind. Please write three paragraphs about what is going on with you in YOUR PRESENT MOMENT. You can focus on feelings, relationships, jobs, school - anything that is on your mind. Don't forget to include pictures in your post (you should have 3 or more). Have fun with this.
This week was very long. I had a bunch of things to get down and it made me very stressed. It also didn't help that I had work Monday through Friday. I had to study for a midterm on sunday, get two chapters of math done, and get catch up on some reading for my other class. Every day I got out of work at seven then I would go to the library to study for my math midterm that I took today (sunday). I felt confident that I was going to do well but what really was taking a toll on me was the lack of sleep. And I tend to worry a lot and then that causes stress.
Up until Saturday I was studying for this midterm. The next thing that I had to get done was two chapters off my math text book that took me the whole day since I also had to take online quizzes on the chapter. So I've had a very busy week which was very stressful. But it mad me appreciate the times that I had on vacations, it also made me look forward to my next vacation which made me think about where I want to go for next.
And I noticed that its slowly been getting colder and colder. Which I am not looking forward to, I think winter is the worst time of the year. I think it does have some good about it but I also think that it is just to cold and I am not looking forward to the snow. Second to me I consider fall to be the "sundays" of all seasons. Its when everyone goes back to there fast pace lifestyles. The weather gets colder, nobody looks forward to it and winter is a "monday". It also gets dark super early which I don't look forward to. Its very depressing, I think that weather has a huge effect on how people feel and what mood they are in. But the one good is that there is a vacation so you can get away or take a break from what you are doing.
Ahmed,
ReplyDeleteGood free write... sounds like you're quite busy and time management is becoming something that you may have to consider... just to stay ahead with school, work, life, etc.
It's piling up, and I can feel the anxiety in your writing. Think of your assests... see if you can take a few things off your plate that are not priority.
Try to stay cool, calm, collected.
Breath.
Your poem this week is like a free write, too, as you drift into a grieving theme about your grandmother. The poem is ok... it reads like a stream of consciousness type of thing. But it feels more like journal writing than a poem, because it's so literal. Try to add elements of abstraction, metaphor, symbolism... wild imagery to paint colors into the black and white structure of the meaning that you write out.
Try to get a little abstract... have fun with the language... let go a little and see where the language leads, when you let it free from the confines of meaining.
