My Memoirs

For one of my classes this semester, I'll be writing my memoirs.

It sounds creepy to say that, like I think I'm going to die soon or something. I haven't even lived half of what's considered a generation.

That aside, though, I have a different problem: I need to think up stories from my life that will take up at least ten pages when typed out.

I think this blog helped a little bit in that. I looked at the posts I'd labeled 'Story from my Life' and may have found a couple potential topics. Trouble is, I need five total; maybe even five plus one.

Another problem with this is my memory. If I'm going to be expected to put these events in story mode, I'm going to have to do a lot of embellishing because I can't remember specific days in order, or all the stuff that happened on a single day. I just remember highlights.

Woah, I just took a look at this post, and I seem to be complaining a lot. o_O

Please don't let my list of problems fool you. I'm cautiously looking forward to this course; I think it'll be interesting to see what I and my classmates come up with.

Plus, I know the professor already from last semester, so I know what it will take to succeed in her class. It'll be a lot of work, and a big struggle to keep my grade up; but it'll definitely be interesting.

One bright side to this is that, unlike the last course I took with this professor, I don't think I'll have to find people to interview. That was nerve-racking, interviewing a total stranger. =P
