My Thoughts

I often have trouble writing

My mind wonders

I run out of ideas


Today I will just be writing about the first thing that comes to mind

Not trying to piece together a story

Just jotting down my thoughts

I will develop the structure as I go


Right now I’m pretty hungry

I wonder what’s for lunch today

The people walking by in the hallway are being so loud

I really need to watch film for football today before practice

Practice yesterday did not start out good at all

I feel like a lot of people on the team aren’t quite on the same page

Whether that be their mindset or just literally we aren’t understanding certain things


I have FSO first period and it was really nice being able to sleep in a bit later

For the first time in awhile I’m actually looking forward to school this year

The reason that I am looking forward to school this year is because it get me into a routine

Routines are good for me because they help me stay organized

In my first two classes I know a bunch of people so that is exciting

I hate sitting in these school desks because they are uncomfortable and I don’t fit very well

(Honestly I don’t hate them, they really aren’t that bad I don’t know why I wrote this down)

One thing that is nice about them is that when I stretch it cracks my back and that feels good


This summer was really enjoyable

The start of a new school year always make me feel refreshed

Everything is clean

No missing assignments

Caught up on everything and not a lot of stress

A fresh start


I’m curious, who is in my lunch?

Who will I sit by

My friends and I always have the best conversations at lunch

So I hope I have a good group this year

After having a couple of lunch periods I like who I am sitting with

I have a bunch of friends that I really like


Writing like this is actually very easy

I am literally just jotting down my exact thoughts

I haven’t had to stop and think whatsoever

I’ve been writing the whole time since I started


During these block classes I love taking a short walk during the break

It allows me to clear my head and reset during the next period


I always like looking at peoples outfits on the first day of school

Or after christmas break

You know that they definitely have been planning this outfit and went out to buy new clothes

I think you can learn a lot about people based on what they wear


I wouldn’t consider myself a person watcher

But I definitely pay attention to people habits

Not in a creepy way of course

But it becomes very clear after a little bit how people interact with each other and how they go about their days

Do they participate in class

Are they shy

What is their personality like


I think this allows me to relate to people

I think it makes me more outgoing and allows me to find what I have in common with my peers


Wow I’ve been rambling and thinking about that for awhile now

Now, Ms. Jorgensen is asking us about what we are writing about and how it is unique

If she calls on me I’m going to say I’m writing down the first thing that comes to mind and then I’m just going to go from there


Now thats shes talking I’m noticing I’m losing my focus a bit

I’m going to take a little break and listen to her and then get back to writing


I just went back and read what I have already written

It is very clear that my mind wanders and I am all over the place

In just this short 30ish minutes I have thought about dozens of different topics

I probably would be thinking about many more if I didn’t have to stop and write them down


This intrigues me because I think I can use this in my writing

I am able to think of a lot of ideas fast

Maybe if I can channel those thoughts in to one specific topic I won’t hit a wall when I’m writing
