i have to do this,
i need to write about my dilemma because it will help it be fixed. i have never tried to write a short story. an idea doesn't even come to mind. in creative writing i made my last short story the most shallow, depressing, unpersonalized chain of words i could come up with. i didn't even give the characters names. now as i'm sitting here thinking about what to do for this one... since i have to write an outline... a new thought came up. some of the people i admire most have written books of short stories. there are short stories that have changed my perspectives on life. they aren't a waste of time; i should give it a go. BUT WHAT TO WRITE? i've been looking at photography for inspiration, but it isn't coming. i feel oddly uncomfortable making up my own characters with souls and such.. maybe i won't give them souls. thinking of names though. it's awkward for me! i have about five hours of other homework that needs doing but i won't start until this outline is completed. can i do it? i really am going to try. no souls, short names, simple. simply mad. that's what i'll shoot for.

second topic of today:
medical terminology, dental assisting, health. this term has been rough because of my procrastination. i have learned A LOT in med term, but i am barely surviving. the only way to revive myself is by doing my ridiculous stack of health homework and studying my eyes out for my final tomorrow. i realize i am blogging instead of doing any of the things i've talked about doing but this is what organizes my mind. no more putting anything off until later. this year i am doing everything when it needs to be done. starting with this morning i am doing a good job.
