CSU - The second day!

Thus started my second day of college. I was, once again, highly interested to attend the classes. This morning was early, so early that i sat in a bored slumber in the lobby, sitting and awaiting the four flights of stairs that i knew i had to climb.

When it finally came time to climb the mountain of stairs, i was ready. Or so i thought. It still tiered me out. Oh well.

Today in writing class [oh writing class of writing class where for art thou writing class] we started off with writing a Truth, Lie, and Secret. I'll tell you mine!

Truth - It is possible to survive in Antarctica

Lie - Once every 10,000 years Atlantis rises from the depths of the ocean.

Secret - My eyes change color with my mood and my hair changes color with the seasons

So anyway, we wrote these little phrases and then mixed them up with the others of our color group [red, blue, orange] Than we passed them out and we each had to choose one, or all three, to write something about. A poem, a story, anything.

I wrote a short story.

Then we had to read it out loud. Everyone liked my detail, i was so happy! [By the way, I have begun posting my college work on my other blog if you want to read any of my writing!] Later we wrote of a picture we had chosen the day before. Mine was of Mustala, a Iranian woman that was in an arranged marriage to her best friend and didn't even know it.

Again, everyone loved my detail and how i could give you the character in only one and a half pages. i was so happy and proud with myself! Later in the class we started talking about poems. One of the coarse professors read the poem Jump Mama by Kurtis Lamkin. We then started a 'Inspired by...' poem. We were to take a line from the poem and write our own. [again this will be posted on my Writing blog!] We didn't have time to read them, so i'm sure we will in the next few days!

After that we went to lunch. Once again i talked to Yuxi and found that both of us were hungry and tiered! After we ate mainly salad it was time for photographing! today they had us tour the campus while taking photo's of the different places around us. It was interesting, but boring at the same time.

Then it was off to Art class.

Today we were given a rubber block that we got to carve. I drew a picture of a shadow woman in front of a sunset and the ocean [I'll post these up here later]. It was a long and pain-staking task but the teacher like it and so did i. I inked [printed] about three of them and can't wait to get the other blocks carved in order to make it more realistic!

So that was my day. Not so bad right? I hope tomorrow is interesting too!

Until my next post, this has been Angela N. Tharp.
