-This week is midterm week, and yesterday I was taking the English midterm. The proctor is (usually) another teacher, and they are supposed to write the time on the board. Well, our proctor, maybe half an hour before the end of the test, wrote under the time, "The end is near..."
Fifteen minutes later he added to the sentence: "The end is nearer." Ten minutes to the end he wrote, "The end is nearer than you think." At five minutes he ran out and erased half the sentence, so it became, "The end is". One guy asked, "The end is what?". The teacher replied with, "Exactly."
-I'm supposed to be writing something to submit to a...well, I don't know how to describe it, but two teachers have already approached me about it. Anyway, one already submitted a story of mine, and I'm supposed to write...something...for the other teacher (who is actually my teacher currently) to submit. The problem is, the guidelines are so vague. I'm trying to write about love, but it's hard to go about it. I'm not sure if I'm writing an informal essay or a story. My other submission was a story, not written for this in particular, but it was submitted anyway. Now, I have a day off today and a day off Monday, with the deadline being January 30th. I should be writing...
Here's my other issue. I want to write something, but that's not it. I don't know what I want to write, exactly, I've just been having this feeling that I need to write something. I've heard people say that writers should write every day. I've written a lot in the new year. It's just not...that thing. Maybe there's a full story I want to write and I'm just not finding it yet... It's such a weird, restless feeling. I like it, yet I don't. Luckily, February isn't too busy a month, so I'll probably write a lot.
