I want to believe that I've come closer to my dreams in the past two weeks than ever in the last 3 years in college.
Right now, I'm taking up creative writing for non-fiction and creative writing 101 under a really neat professor (Ms. Charlene Fernandez of Manila Bulletin).
What I can tell you is that she's nothing like Ms. hernandez of yesteryears. Haha. And I can tell you that when one of my classmates told me we had a "Ms. HERNANDEZ" I really got scared shitless.
Luckily, she is nothing like Ms. HERNANDEZ. She's full of confidence and real-life humor. She doesn't crack jokes to keep us attentive. It's more like a discussion of past experiences that other people can either relate with or incorporate in their lives as a writer. I've actually learned more from her in the past two weeks than the entire year with Gorge. I'm not saying this to be mean, really. That would just be a waste of time.
I suppose she writes well. She talks creatively and that says a lot. I wish I could write my book after these courses. God, I've never even come close to writing my storyline.
I also have a political science course which I generally enjoy except for the overly repetitive reading of passages of our text book. Plus, he asks us questions as a segue for his own answers.
Haha. But he's known to give high grades so I coudn't care less if he rereads the entire book every meeting.
I have Medieval philosophy but to tell you frankly, I'm just so sick of religious philosophy I have hyper acidity everytime I try reading St. Augustine. Ick.
I know I'm about a step closer of a million steps but at least I've taken a step.
I just came home from a Pahinungod seminar where we were taught how to do storytelling for little kids. By December 4, I'd be doing storytelling for about 5 children. I just can't wait. I love kids.
Not over a week ago, I submitted a resume to ABS-CBN for a script writing workshop. I wish I'd get accepted. I can never make a career out of writing but I'd really like to learn to write creatively. I want my thesis on Children's Philosophy to be written creatively so that even children may be able to appreciate my writing.
I'd love so much to be able to write chidren's stories for philosophy.
I'm not like this great writer (well, nothing like trish who got an F for a perfectly good paper), but I sure would like to hone whatever skills I've got.
Our December issue for sinag would be a lampoon issue and I'd be doing a short story sort about the top 10 terror profs in our college and I'm out of ideas. hehe. got any, b**** as*es?
That's about it.
Shabu!
