For my English 112 class we were assigned to write in this blog for 10 minutes every day until the end of the course. Writing has never been one of my favorites subjects while in school at least in English because I enjoy writing in my own language which is Spanish. Every time I have to write for any assignment specially this class I have to think in Spanish and translate my thoughts to English which is a very difficult task.
I wrote in the past nice poems to my ex-girlfriends or to a member of my family such as my mom, my sister or any of my brothers but when I want to translate them to English I get stuck. This is the case now with my English class. This is why sometimes is hard to start writing an essay for me. But every time I start the same way.
I start my thinking in my language and jotting down ideas for translation at a later time. I wake up every morning thinking "what I'm going to write today for this class"
Sometimes I tend to forget that I have to write on my blog on any given day, but luckily I keep a small notebook right next to my keyboard. In that keyboard I wrote in ascending order the dates that ranges from the first day I started this blog until the end of the semester. I put a check mark next to the date when I finish writing my assignment for that specific day.
Friday November 7, I forgot to write on my blog. I thought I did, but I checked my notebook around 10:00 p.m and there was no check mark on that day. I have to think fast and soon enough I was typing for 10 minutes and finished my assignment.
Every day I have the same dilemma.........Did I write or didn't I.......that is my everyday question.
