So I have been thinking about getting a Tumbler… and then I realize that I probably wouldn't keep up with it, baby steps Laney. I just finished writing for my Graduate Level Writing class. I had to hand write and I am learning that the more I use my hands the more they really suffer. They are so sore after only writing two pages!! But they could also be sore from all of the typing, designing and drawing that I have been doing for my classes for the past two weeks. It is only the first two weeks of school so I am a little nervous.

I had to write about how much I like writing. I like to write though I am not good at it. I like free writing, blogging or journaling because I don't feel pressure also because I write how I think. Whatever comes to mind sort of like a stream of consciousness. I have always been jealous of how my old college roommate was such a good writer. She could just put the words down on the page in perfect grammar. I know what to say just not how to say it correctly. I feel like I have learned the grammar rules, even though I feel like they have changed over the years or almost every English teacher has their own opinion, though I just can't apply them to my own work. I can apply them to the work of others no problem. I like to edit others work. I also like to read. These two skills should make you a better writer but I'm not sure if it has worked for me.

My ex was always a good writer. She would always proof read my work. In fact she even helped me with my entrance essay for grad school because it wasn't that good and they told me to rewrite it. They liked my portfolio and since it is an art school that is important but my entrance essay which I had to write about myself I found difficult. They wanted to know more about my future and honestly I have no fucking clue. I have an idea of what I would like to do but as far as anything to exact I don't know. But she was zoo talented at taking my essay on the fact that I have no idea what I want to do with my life hence the reason why I am going to grad school to tone up some of my skills that I appreciate into something that made me sound like a superstar from NASA.

I think that my bad writing could stem from the fact that my dad would edit my papers and essays growing up so I never learned why something was the way it was. He always would edit my papers and he was never that great of a writer. He was always a finance guy. I believe that math and science people have a much harder time with english and history and vice versa. One of the smartest people I know is my best friend who is going to Pharmacy School she is like me when it comes to writing, our achilles' heel.
