i used to be a writer and a poet...

as stated in the title of this blog (my second this week ;) ) I used to be a good writer, and a good poet; but I think in the grand scheme of college, I've lost both of those gifts...hopefully not forever, but i think subconsciously i'm rebelling against everything that is people making me be creative by not being creative at all...isn't that depressing?
my inspiration for this blog comes from another blog i just read. i was perusing myspace and came upon A Fine Frenzy's page...mainly to see if a certain song was on there...but i randomly decided to read her blog...her writing is seriously beautiful; which didn't suprise me from listening to the lyrics of her songs, but i was just amazed. i wish i had written the phrase "my bed is deliciously warm". read it.
this is another reason why i cannot wait to be done with college. I've heard that college is supposed to encourage thinking and creativity, but sometimes i feel like if we show any sort of original thought or creativity in papers, our grade will suffer. is that how it's supposed to be? Even in my English classes, if we don't write structurally, etc. like the teacher wants, it's not good. Now, i have to admit, my writing, i think has gone down hill since the first english course i took at DBU, and i don't know if that's lack of inspiration or what....but....anyways, i don't know where i'm really going with that---
except to say, i miss creative writing and poetry. i can't wait to write poetry again...i try now, and it just doesn't seem as good as it used to be.

Anyway---i apologize if these last two blogs have been somewhat depressing, but kudos to you if you actually read and got through them :)

p.s. - God answered my questions...and the answer was simple. ~Romans 5:9-11~ and praise the Lord for his never ending patience. He is good and his love endures forever!!!

ok, now i have class to go to and a paper to write---irony of ironies---but not really.

have a wonderful day :)
