What did I get myself into?--In the most positive way.

     So I was thinking, this term I should take it easy. We're getting married in May, which is 114 days away (who's counting?), and I did not want to add too much extra stress to my life. I decided to take two online courses and thought that would be slightly easier on me than my usual 3. Well, the two I took were an 8 week computer course and Honors Comp 2. The amount of work in the first week alone was impressive to say the least and more time consuming than any of the courses I've taken thus far. Honestly, I just find that funny. Really, this is the term I choose to take my first honors course?

     The other side of the story is, I am so excited I am in Honors Comp 2. I have been looking forward to this class since high school. When I was younger the one thing I thought I was good at was writing. I had confidence in myself. I could be funny, meaningful, deep, or even simply creative. Then, I got sidetracked. I dropped out of school and for the last ten years didn't write a thing (except for the occasional moment of clarity where I would write a poem on a brown paper bag). When I finally realized my plan kind of stunk I got my stuff together and got my GED. One of my first classes was Composition 1. I was so excited. I was going to have a reason to write again. My Comp 1 class was in school and consisted of nothing but group work. I wouldn't have thought I had anything against group work. I now loathe it. 

     Therefore, now is my chance. It is up to me to utilize this course as the muse it really can be. There are so many things going on in my world right now. The whole staying in the moment thing will be interesting. But, I want everything this class has to offer. I truly do. This is where I will keep track of this journey and what it brings to my writing. Let's give it a shot.
