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
