Summer at Brown

So, then my mom was kissing me good-bye and telling me I'd be just fine but I'm pretty sure it was herself she was trying to convince. Then I got on a plane and 6 hours later I was in Boston taking a bus to Providence, Rhode Island and then blinking in the bright sunlight of Kennedy square and tripping my way into the beautiful campus of Brown University. And as my dad said, I was done with the most difficult part- not getting really lost, which was, in itself a small miracle.

Experimental writing is the name of the program I'm taking here at Brown as college prep course. I'm loving it! What started as a 'immabesicktomystomach' nerve racking class has turned into something I can't wait to get to each day. Between my wonderful professor and the great, intelligent girls I collab with, I've already learned so much. And when I'm not in class, life is great too. Class only goes from 3:50 to 6:40 but between the gym, meals, assignments and eating frozen yogurt theres no time at all! Still I love it, and this wonderful group of people I've met, have me laughing every second.

ANYWAY back to my class, Rebecca Van Laer, my professor, has to have some kind of magic because she make us read of book made up of poems yesterday (Beauty of the Husband if any of you care to look it up) and I actually liked it! AH, Whats happening to me!? I never thought I would like any of this but here I am spending lunch hour in the dorm room writing poetry.

I'm just kidding- there is no "lunch hour" and all who know me know that even if there was, I wouldn't miss it. But what I'm not kidding about is the poetry thing. cause for the first time in years and years of classes, it's actually making sense, to read and to write.

SO I thought I'd share the assginments I have each day and what I come up with in my response. Soon well switch other types of writing, but anything were doing, I'm excited for.

And thats just me, experiencing new things everyday currently across the country on our spinning world:)
