I live in a room that I swear is crooked. The bed never looks like it's centered, no matter how I finangle it. I swear that the ceiling slopes so that the door frame on the left side of the room looks closer to it than the door frame on the right....And I tend to color the truth a little bit...

Getting Started

So I'm not entirely sure what I'm supposed to be writing about, to be honest.  All's I know is that I'm taking a writing class in which the professor insists we do a daily writing journal.  I don't expect that I will do too well at the whole "daily" part of that assignment.  But I do love to write.  I'd like to use this blog to write about all the little things I want to say but can never remember when the time actually comes.  Like that huge mass of people just standing about on the way out of class this morning.  Seriously, the bell had just rung, I walked out of my classroom, and there were literally hundreds of people just standing around.  I assume they were waiting for everyone to leave the many classrooms emptying into that hallway, but seriously folks: the people that you're waiting for to leave the classroom can't actually leave the classroom when you are standing about and blocking the way.  As I made my way out, there was a single file line wading through the huge mass of standers toward the only light of day to be seen in that dreary basement hallway...which unfortunately ended up being just a window.  And it was all made worse by the Utah walkers who, like Utah drivers, park themselves in the middle of the direct line of traffic and signal everyone else to go ahead, making hundreds of others behind them sit and wait for a thousand years.

Well anyway...I don't want this to be a ranting type blog.  Heaven knows there are already too many of those out there.  I'm hoping this can be a sounding board when I do want to vent, but I also want to share past experiences, random free-writes that don't seem to have a point but have a certain sense of symmetry anyway (hopefully), and of course, writing samples from my various classes.  I doubt it will be of much interest to anyone other than myself.  But then again, I do have a notoriously short attention span...
