My, my, these rare posts are just becoming little notifications that I'm alive, neh? College is overrunning my life, I'm afraid. But ah wells, 'tis educational and mostly productive. Don't get too much free time due to the lack of easy freshman classes. Nooooo . . . Yam had to boldly charge right into two Honors courses and two 200 courses (one of which gives me enough work for several classes). Then a little roundtable that meets once a week, which is what I decided to post about~.
My roundtable is a writing one. We all come and are given a prompt, we write, and share. Very laid back atmosphere. First unit was personal memoirs (which kinda sucked), and now we're on poetry, which is not as bad as I anticipated, and actually came at a time when I was getting the desire to write some, so yayz. Anywho, we've been doing some really fun exercises, particularly sound poems. We picked ten words that we liked (the sound, the meaning, whatever) and had to construct them into lines that sounded . . . poetic. Then we had to get together with another person and combine all twenty words, then had to add words to make them make sense.
So now I come to you all asking, what are ten of your favorite words? I'm merely curious, that and I feel my vocabulary has been somewhat lacking as of late (my brain is being packed so tightly with new information that it tends to short-circuit and retain little until it can finally grasp and digest the new concepts), that and the project is fun. Dunno if I'll get many poems out of them, but I'd like to try? Be as open about it as you please, I'm quite, quite curious.
Hyuu~.
