Final thoughts.

Coming into this course, I expected the curriculum to be like poems, and story telling I did not expect it to be blogging that's for sure ! I wasn't sure if I would enjoy the class or not but I am glad I took it, I learned what kind of foot print I want to leave behind whether it is my " digital footprint " or even just the image of myself I leave here at school. My favorite assignment in this class was the 6 word memoirs, they were so easy, creative, and fun to make, they had so much meaning in so little words. My least favorite assignment would have to be reading reflections, I dreaded having to do them every week, it's not that they were hard they just were boring, found it hard to focus long enough to write 250 words. Friday reading classes I did not find useful I would rather do personal additions or extra work, I like reading on my own time either right before bed or when I wake up in the morning I feel like I could be more productive on days like that. I didn't really like doing either of the reflections, probably because I have the worst luck ever with the school computers, and by the time I finally got a computer to work I had to shut down because it was the end of class, I also found it hard to write about the same things basically every week. The WRN we didn't use as much as I expected too, I didn't mind doing the written work, I'm good with getting my thoughts out and on to paper. The blogging was so neat to explore, between decorating, figuring out how to get followers, to make new posts, to edit a post, and even comment on a friends post, there are still so many more things to me to explore in the blogging world. Tweeting I like having the fast connection between my class mates and of course you Ms. M! You can post anything on your mind even if it is completely ridiculous. Adding technology to the course was very useful not everyone knows the advantages, or dangers of the Internet I learned so many new things. In this class I learned that I am a better reader then I am writer, and I am a better thinking then creator, I have good ideas in my head I just struggle getting them down into real thoughts to put on paper. I really enjoyed my time in this course I learnt so many possibilities, just reflections suck! Advice for future creative writing students, keep blog well organized and enjoy !

Reading Reflection #9

Reading reflection #9

I have just recently started a new book, so far it is very interesting. I have read maybe 100 pages of it ? I am writing this completely brain dead, I can't even think of the name of the book I am reading right now. It is the end of the year ! I think everyone is feeling the same way ! My book is supposed to feel like it's based on a true story but I don't find it very realistic, still interesting but not believeable to me. My favorite character is Derek, he sees ghosts around the old, secluded town of Marcher. His girlfriend Shay-lynn was the only one to believe him, his parents thought he was nuts, and so did the whole town. The town believes in execution, and torture, so I am starting to be a bit scared that they could start torturing Derek for starting such a riot in a small town that is so quiet usually, I don't know whether to think Derek is delusuional or if he actually has the ability to see the supernatural life. If it is true is the town in trouble? Are these ghosts friendly or are they going to cause harm? I think there is going to be a insane few chapters coming up!

Authors note

          Every day there are so many things I think I would like to accomplish, but when it comes down to actually putting your list on paper it's not as easy as it seems, there may be some things you consider, for example sky diving, it sounds cool yeah, but when it comes down to it, it isn't something I really want to do. Lots of things take a lot of time, and money and it really makes you think if it is actually possible. I am 17 years of old and have my whole life ahead of me and I want to try my best to accomplish everything and anything I have my mind set on. Now that I have finished my list I think it is possible to finish at least 3 things on my list a year, I will be able to save up enough money and courage ! I really shocked myself with some of the things I want to do, but also proud, the day I am dying I won't be sad, but will be happy that I lived myself to the fullest and have done, if not tried everything I have wanted to do in my life time!

I am a worry wort, I worry about anything and everything. Right now what I have chose to worry about is my black lap top is very, very warm right now, it is sitting in the sun infront of me and it burns my fingers to touch the keys ! I keep thinking that my lap top is going to blow up from the heat or electricute me #scared#twitterterms.

Personal addition

So right now I am sitting in my back yard, no afternoon classes, making a personal addition on my lap top while laying beside my pool. Thinking what I was doing, two things popped into my mind, one being " Damn it was so smart taking all my courses grade 11 year !" and " crazy how a few years ago I would have been sitting in a class room writing something like this on paper, it amazes me that I can do something at home and still get marks for it, whilke enjoying my day outside next to the pool, glass of lemonade, and music playing, things don't get much better than this ladies and gentlemen !

Fly a plane.

This isnt a typical plane, when I was out at the cottage I saw it and couldnt stop thinking how amazing planes are, how something so heavy can fly.. or float like plane above. It would so cool to be able to control something so big and powerful.

Now what ?

Now what?

First starting this project the first 15 items on my list came with no thought at all.. But after that they became harder and harder to write. There are so many things I haven’t been able to accomplish in my life time but even for the ones that did come to me fast I had a hard time putting together visuals. I thought it would be super easy finding or creating and image to show or explain the items on my list but it was way more difficult then I had thought, at this point I am not yet completed, I still have quite a few images to create or find, I keep thinking that my images are not good enough and if I should be doing better, but they all have a good connection to what they are representing. I think the best way to explain an item on my list would be taking a picture of something that relates to what my item is, for example an item on my list is own my own Starbucks so maybe taking a picture of a cup of coffee, or taking a picture of a Starbucks building. The best medias so far I think are taking my own pictures or making a collage out of magazine pictures, I hope that whomever views my blog sees the effort I put into the images I chose for my bucket list I took the time and thought hard about what images would be the best representation.
