I started writing group again today. It was really nice. I always kind of don’t want to go but then when I get there I always really enjoy it. (There is a lot in life like that.) So I decided to make the theme of writing group beginnings and I did a variety of activities around that. I ended up writing about my first day at the Catholic University. I wrote how I nearly didn’t make it. I had been out partying all weekend and then David comes to me on the Sunday night and goes “do you know your starting university tomorrow?” I was shocked and really overtired. Lucky he had an “oh shit guide to starting university” written out for me with all the things I needed to do. The first thing was panic and then the second thing was calm down. Anyway thanks again for that David. I am about to begin my last semester. I nearly didn’t make it through the first day.
{February 20, 2009} Beginnings
Yeah, Gem, I remember that day! And you’re almost finished! Good things can grow out of difficult beginnings.
I’m pretty much my hero.
