Notebook

as this is the end of the semester, I'm definitely feeling the pressure to get all of my work done. I was nervous to get all of my poems together for my notebook, since I didn't really think I wrote all that much this semester, and didn't really follow the syllabus to a T. I just wrote when and if ideas came to me, keeping them in a separate notebook for just simple ideas that I thought would make okay poems. As it turns out, I'm well over the minimum for the notebook entries. It made me realize just how much I actually did write this semester, and how proud I am of that work. I never considered myself to be a "writer" or even someone who writes, but this semester has helped me realize that I do actually have something to say, and at times I'm pretty good at saying it

  1. I was actually also surprised how many notebook entires I had. At first I thought I only had a few, but when I looked through my book, I found out that had most of them done. This was a huge relief because it gave me one less thing to worry about as this year comes to an end. I was also proud that had a lot more poems written already than I originally thought.
