Famous Last Words: Spring Break Blues

I have a major case of senioritis hitting in. It probably doesn't help that I have a white board that I update everyday with a countdown until graduation. That being said, my focus coming back from Spring Break has not been good. This week I have put my health first, ha, and that has caused me to get at least 8 hours of sleep and eat right. But there are other things that have been sacrificed. Such as doing homework. I feel I am behind in this class. I should just pick a time to sit down and has out this entire class so I don't have to worry about it as much. It's an interesting class, but time consuming during the week. But anyway, I read Native American fairy tales this week. They were very interesting. I'm not sure I liked them very much. I found it hard to think of ways to write my own story simply because I didn't find myself meshing with any of the stories that I read from the fairy tales. I did my best writing at work this week with the kiddos that I work with. Sometimes it's nice just to write for people who don't have an advance vocabulary. I read an awesome story this week for this class about a war dog. I love dogs. But this author wrote in first person as the dog, and it just really tugged at my heart strings. The author did a great job. It was a great idea. Outside of school, I attended the Made in Oklahoma showcase event put on by OU Housing & Food. It was a great event, a little windy, but that didn't stop me from eating some chocolate covered bacon with jalapeƱos on top. It was yummy. This Sunday/Monday I will be attending the Rokerthon event. I will probably be dead after work by 6 p.m., but I'm excited for it.

  1. Mia,

    I liked this post that you wrote. I have yet to do a "Famous Last Words" post, so it was interesting to read your and to see what was on you mind. I think that I struggle as well with this class, especially after spring break. My mind went on vacation for a week and when I got back, I felt so behind on everything. I've had so many other tests for my major that it has been hard to focus on reading and writing creatively. I'm also jealous that you are graduating this semester. I'm doing that half victory lap, so it's also hard to see all my friends excited for graduation too. Anyways, great post! This makes me want to write one of my own.
