You all seem pretty into the election. Personally, I'm just happy it's all over and we can start talking about something else. Hopefully I can turn on the TV and watch actual shows again!
So, on a different note, I thought today's class was interesting. Even though the beautiful outlaw poem was challenging, I thought it was really cool. I wrote mine about my roommate, and when i got home I showed it to her. I re-wrote it and had her find the missing letters. Unfortunately she was on to me and figured it out after the first letter, but she really liked it and hung it up on her wall which made me happy! I can't imagine how much patience it would take to write an entire story like that, but I would like to push myself to try one day. Things with hidden messages in them have always intrigued me. I wasn't too big of a fan of the ghazal once we turned it into prose. That seemed to work better as a poem in stanzas. I actually really enjoyed writing those forms from last week, the pantoums, and I was hoping to try and use a technique like that for my story but I got sidetracked. Oh well, there's always the next assignment.
