Your blog writing has been so brilliant that we really should keep up with that this week. So we will do a great one: the 6 word memoir.
There is a story about Hemingway that goes like this. He is
in a bar--he was often in a bar. Someone challenges him to write a story in a
very unHemingway way. It could only contain six words. They bet a bottle of
scotch, so for Hemingway, these are high stakes! He accepts. He pens this
masterpiece: "For sale, baby shoes, never worn."
He wins the bets and establishes the six word memoir.
This week, your blog entry should have six words, your own six word memoir.
The
only requirement is this; it must only have six words.
Then, later in the week,
you can come back and comment on the six word memoirs of your classmates.
Also, you can do multiple ones, so have a go and then skip a space and do it
again.
I'll try one:
dreary sunday, rain clouds, only hope.
Here's another:
youth, writing limitless words, all red.
And a third one...
north carolina, job interview, southern drawl.

DeleteShakeology is a dense superfood nutrition shake. It's a beachbody product. It helps to increase your energy, reduce cravings, lose weight, and improve digestion. I drink one everyday and have become pretty much obsessed with it.

Homework due, procrastinate, thanks to Netflix.
I can definitely relate to the last one. Netflix gets me every time!
DeleteNetflix gets me too! I can't start a show on there without trying to finish it in one sitting! Ready for summer to get here so I can binge watch for days!
DeleteThe Netflix one is so true!!!
DeleteProcrastination is all to blame on Netflix. I loved it!
DeleteI always want to figure out what happens on the next episode and before you know it, I'm like five episodes in.
This is me all the time! It's just hard to put down when there's so many interesting things.

DeleteAh, your second one stood out to me because I will also be experiencing a long distance relationship in 3 months, thanks to the military. Stay positive!

Cute babies grow into naughty teenagers.
Cute baby bulldog, cute adult bulldog.
Laundry’s done, homework’s finished. It’s playtime!
what would you rather have? A cute baby turn into a naught teen or an ugly kid who turns out not too bad? I go with the second one, but having a cute nice kid would be nice too.
DeleteHouse work never ends. Homework ends when you graduate. At least I hope so! I hope it's not true that cute babies grow into naughty teenagers because my daughter is around the corner from that age. She's practically there.
ReplyDeleteMidterm, did ok, glad its over.
ReplyDeletemid day, really hungry, need food.
Weekend, please come, it's barely Thursday.
Your so lucky to have midterms over. It's probably the most stressful times during the quarter next to finals week. Being done with midterms is a huge weight off your shoulders.

Gym time, workout hard, go eat.
So stressed, midterms, what is life.
Three days, hurry by, finally free.
So much pressure, not enough effort.
Chocolate cake is so good but I feel you when the tooth-ache comes in. Especially when it seeps in between your teeth.

Term papers and finals, procrastinate as needed.
i'm a big procrastinator too. it seems like i do everything the day of
DeleteMe too. Honestly, I always seem to get a lot of chores done when I have a paper due. Even cleaning the toilet's a lot more enjoyable than having to write my term paper.
DeleteIt's rare to find someone who likes cheese popcorn. When I tell people I like cheese popcorn, they look at me like I'm a freak. It's almost as good as kettle popcorn.
DeleteSeriously? I love cheese popcorn, it's a nice change from the regular butter popcorn. In my local farmer's market, there's a small booth that sells flavored popcorn and it's always a nice treat. Aside from the usual favorites, they also make jalapeno cheddar and colored popcorn. It's awesome!
Deletealways doing work, homework, job work.
ReplyDeletebeach tomorrow, nice weather, so excited.
need a vacation, feel like sleeping.
I can definitely relate to your post. I'm debating on going to the beach but at the same time I feel too lazy.
