PERSONAL ADDITION
 |
| Credit goes to: Cleosandra ∞ |
Coming up on graduation, I'm starting to severely worry. Everything is so overwhelming at this point in time. My exams are done this friday. Registering for courses at u of w soon. I'm going insane. Just wondering if anyone else had the same feelings at the moment ! :(
FINAL THOUGHTS
As the year is coming
to an end I am obviously starting to panic a little. I realized I set my
standards way to high for this course and was hoping for at least eighty
percent and need higher than seventy for university, however I loved the class
overall.
My favourite assignment
was by far the buried life project. I loved it because we really couldn’t go
wrong with our answers and opinions so it allowed us to be as creative and out
there as we wanted to be. My least favourite assignment was definitely the
blackout poetry. I found that without having a specific topic or boundaries it
was hard for me to make something up that made sense. Too creative for me!
I wasn’t much of a fan
of the Friday reading classes truthfully because I always would be working on
other homework and knew that was more important than reading therefore causing
me to lose my concentration towards the book.
Monday’s reading reflections
were always a struggle for me because of my inability to read during the Friday
classes. Which consequently only allowed me to write the maybe, three pages I
had read? The writing reflections I liked though because it made me think about
what I had learned within the past week.
The WRN I feel went to
waste after we started blogging, however I did like the blogging a lot better. It
was easier to keep up with and less paper was wasted! Also I loved that we
could go on your blog and see exactly what our schedule was for the class and
the week even if we weren’t there.
I liked the idea of
putting twitter to good use but I regret not making a new account specifically
for this class. I think my followers probably got annoyed, or confused.
The integration of
technology into the course definitely made it a lot easier to do our
assignments and know exactly what was going on even when we’re absent.
I learnt overall that I’m
very close-minded when it comes to writing. My goal was to become a better
writer and that came well with liking all the assignments.
My advice for future
Creative Writing students is; don’t forget about personal additions! You’ll end
up like me having to add 20 in one week.

NOW WHAT ?
Now what ?
Just turning eighteen within the past month, I have started going out to clubs/bars and have witnessed people getting kicked out or warned that they were going to get kicked out already. This inspired me and made me realize it would probably be an amazing story to tell one day. Number forty on my bucket list is “get kicked out of a bar”. I felt that at my age this would probably be the most realistic goal for now until I earn some money to accomplish my entire bucket list. For this I have many options or ways to go about getting kicked out of a bar. First of all, I could start a fight which I’m guessing would merit the consequences being kicked out. I could get cut off for being served alcohol and keep insisting I get some. I could break beer bottles on the dance floor. I could charge through the crowd knocking people over. There will always be an endless list of options to accomplish this goal of mine. When there’s a will there’s a way.

AUTHORS NOTE
Authors note,
As high school is coming to an end I’m starting to realize that life is actually a lot shorter then I believed it was. Looking back at the past 12 years being in school and I feel a little behind. Creating this bucket list made me more ambitious to go out in life and accomplish everything I had ever hoped to. A few things on my list that are in top priority are to go to a Manchester United game and to participate in La Tomatina. I have played soccer my whole life and my favourite team has always been Manchester, I know I will find a way to get to a game. I know it is possible because I will be going to Europe with my aunt in the near future and I know I could convince her to come with me. While I’m in the area, I could also go to Italy and participate in the massive tomato fight. This is also very important to me because I’ve always wanted to be in a food fight and felt this was the perfect opportunity. Watching the buried life made me realize anything is possible (if you have the time and money) and to never give up on your hopes and dreams.
