Week 2

Just finished writing my terrible Candy and Medicine poem, so I thought I'd finish my poetry work and submit my 200 words for Week 2. I feel like I just wrote the most awful poem. It was hard for me to think of something happy or funny to write about...everything I thought of didn't work out. I was going to write about being mistaken for being 14 all the time, or how a customer I waited on at work this summer thought I was 12, but it didn't work out because that's not really candy. Not a very fun or happy experience. I feel like all the stuff I write is so literal that we would never be able to have the conversations we do in class because you would know exactly what I was saying and exactly the emotion I was feeling. Anyone else have trouble?
On a happier note, so far I'm enjoying the things we've read in class and enjoying the discussions we're having. It's good to hear everyone's interpretation of the readings, and I like hearing how someone's opinion is the exact opposite of what I was thinking. It's nice that so many people participate and people don't refrain from talking. I've taken classes before where nobody talks, which makes it so much harder.
Hope everyone had a good weekend...see you Tuesday!

PS- Lets have class outside again. That room is a damn sauna.
