Memoir.
+++
The assignment is to write a memoir of ourselves, 3-5 pages, font size 12, double spaced. Seems pretty easy at first.
After 5 days of writing and rewriting, deleting and redoing, I can't find a single thing interesting about myself, or any incident interesting or public enough to write.
Why do they have to present us with stupid assignments as such? Give me another person to write about, I won't be as lost. Or a movie I loved, or a book I will never ever find bored to read over and over again, or a song that has got me through my lousiest time. Who is so shameless to write about himself without actually having anything worthy to write? It's people's time spent reading our useless material here I'm talking about. (But then again, there's Facebook and many other online social networking sites and communities.)
Wait a minute- does this mean that I don't know myself?
It makes me feel kinda sad. It requires a lecturer to present me with an assignment to make me think about me, my past and my future and in the end, find out that, all I really am to me right now is a question mark.
Always have been, I'm not sure if I will always be.
God help me, I'm running out of time.
