I am SO excited that my spring break has started! I've always hated school, but this semester is an extra bad one. Out of all my horrible classes, I think I like my Copy Writing class the most. I have to write some REALLY gay crap for it though I surprise myself with every assignment I hand in. Here's a small fraction of an example:
"Envision a landscape in front of you, that is nothing but blue. The calm, light blue sky spotted with white puffs of clouds meets the peaceful, yet stirring, waves of the ocean at the apparent horizon. Opening your mouth, you can almost taste the salted water beneath you. A large wave hits, spraying its briny mist over your tanned face and arms. The cool breeze makes these spots feel even more sensitive to the temperature. In the background, you can hear people laughing while the wind fills the great sails that seem reach up forever."
Ya. That's me. I wrote that. I reread it when I was done, and just laughed. The funny thing though, is that the teacher LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVED it. So I guess what I'm learning about writing introduction paragraphs for body copy, is that I have to come up with really lame, gay shit, write it out, and hand it in. And when I get it back, my page is full of red pen, but it's good red pen, because she's saying how much she liked whatever I said and I fulfilled the requirement, because I made her feel like she was eating whatever food I was describing, or in the place I was describing. In this case, that was the paragraph before I go into all the details of the product, and try to start selling you crap you don't need. Here, I was about to start selling you a cruise on a sailboat. It's actually kind of a cool idea, I wouldn't mind taking a trip on one.

Last thought on that: my creative writing class that I took like a year ago is really starting to paying off now. Yay De Anza, lol.
I hate this cat! It keeps sneaking into my room and scaring me!
