So I have just finished my work for writing fiction and I already have another thing to do on my plate: Studying for Physical Science Exam 3. Which is tommorow at 9 AM.

Whoa is me.

I have printed off all the PDF notes for the lectures, and written down all the answers to the online review test. All I can do now is study. The last Exam I scored a 93 on the in class and a 73 on the online, so hopefully I can improve both scores(mainly the online).

This all wouldn’t be such a big deal if I didn’t have to work until nearly 10 tonight. I guess I am just going to have to cut back on my sleep tonight, something I already did last night in order to complete my story.

This is going to be a long next few days, so bare with me.

So I finally finished my short story for my Fiction class last night. I stayed up late, got up early, and put in a lot of effort. I am not satisfied with the ending, but it being my first “long” short story I am trying not to be too hard on myself. The characterization turned out pretty well, but I am going to work on it more after it had been work shopped. I am hoping to receive constructive criticism from the work shop, but don’t exactly want my story to be town apart. With that being said, I bet that my peers will be able to find both positives and negatives in my story.

Before this year I had never done work shops. I have grown a lot this year in that I feel a lot more comfortable with myself and my work, and the criticism of others doesn’t hurt my feelings as much as it used to. If anything, I have become not only stronger, but also a better writer from people’s comments and suggestions.

I have one more short story to write for this semester, which is already almost over, how exciting is that?! Less than two months to go and I will have completed my sophomore year. Not only have I declared my major, but I am finding out more things about myself as I learn the ins and outs of writing.
