Never.
Except now.
Today in English we were reviewing for our test on Thursday and the last question on our test is worth 15 points and it is probably (or should be) the most simple answer of all. It's not even a question- it's just to list 5 topics we would want to write about for our research paper due at the end of the semester. No guidelines, no limits, and no rules. Anything goes. Mom thought sending me to Ezell would prepare me for college... I think maybe Dr. Rummage missed this one... free write. Not a simple paragraph free write- no a RESEARCH PAPER free write. Most of my grade is riding on a free write!!! I'm not sure how to handle this seeing as I'm the MOST indecisive girl ON THE FACE OF THE PLANET. The very simplest things are the hardest for me. What should we have for dinner? That is probably the hardest part of my day. I'll never be able to pick! These 5 topics are supposed to be something that interests us... which brings me to my next problem (as if my english grade relying on a free write wasn't bad enough) I have to come up with 5 things that interest me. I don't play sports and I'm not a quilter, sewer, or dirt biker. I'm interested in typical things- not things that you can write a paper over. I am interested in people- how people can be so different- free spirits and planners. I like Paris and Audrey Hepburn. I'm interested in my favorite tv shows, my favorite books, and so on.
I am thinking I'll write about Nicholas Sparks (people like me are the reasons teachers hate assigning free writes). My friend gave me the idea of writing about the differences in his books and the movies based on his books. Thank you Bradley!
I guess that's all I'll write about for now...
P.S. Lady dog found a home...
I could enjoy this assignment!
