With all the writing I have been doing for Grad school, I have had no time to write for the pure enjoyment of it. I'm not sold on Grad school yet. The reason I have always disliked school so much is that it keeps me from doing a lot of others things I'd rather be doing. The same applies to Grad school. I am behind in life, missing out on things I'd love to be doing, and wishing I wasn't stuck doing homework so much. Though I am only in the middle of my first class, it very well might be my last! What I do like about class is the knowledge I've gained that can only help me move forward as a writer. We shall see, we shall see.
For now I am happy to write whatever I'd like, knowing there will be no grade at stake. Since it is Thanksgiving Eve, I'd like to give THANKS! I am thankful for...
