Change
it's funny how times change..today i was organizing my room. no not unpacking yet. i still have to put things that are suppose to be there like storage stuff b/c my parents had my room painted. i had to go through boxes and what not. wow. i found a box full of my books that i used to read over and over again as a kid and found the little slips i built into them when i used to play school and library. i used to have my dolls 'check' out books and then read the books to them. i know: really dorky. then i found one of the spirals. for some reason in jr. high it became cool to use a spiral to send notes with friends b/c there'd be no loose paper. oh boy, was i such a nerd. the thing i couldn't detach myself from were my english binders. the sad thing is that almost every year, i sit and do this. i read through them and look at my writing styles. but usually i just look back one year. this time i went back...oh..5 years. yea. i enjoyed it so much. seeing how my writing has changed and the things that i thought were absolute truths then..yea, can easily prove them wrong now. found a few of my lost poems..i think they were meant to stay lost. after going through all of that, i went back to my final paper of this semester..yes! it was waiting for me when i got to lubbock;) and read through it. i am so freaking proud of myself. granted, i know it wasn't as grand as other people's papers but it was from me. just me. i did it and by looking at my progress as a writer and seeing this paper that is part of my english major class. oh wow. ok..well it's getting late..i am rambling and i have to get up at 7am to take my little bro to school..oh how i love being able to drive!
