I just wanted to write something, but I don’t have much to say. I still don’t have a job; I’m still waiting for the legislature and the budget, and I still miss Ireland. I’ve recently gotten back into Sherlock Holmes, both stories and the Jeremy Brett television series from the 1980’s. I’m a bit sad that I’m not going back to App this fall. Actually, really sad. But alas, I’m a real adult now. That is all.

I posted an entry a while back called Writer’s Block. Since then, I have redeveloped my ability to write, if that many any sense, and I just kind of wanted to explain what’s been going on.
This semester has been crazy busy for me. Today alone I spent eight hours in the library and got all of two lesson plans written. The only break I had the whole time was to call my very best friend for 15 minutes. When I am this busy, I have no time for myself anymore. It’s almost as though I become a completely different person altogether. I become Rebecca the student, rather than Rebecca the friend or Rebecca the writer, or even Rebecca the obsessive facebook checker. I’m just one 107 lbs lesson plan producing machine. When times like these happen, I lose my ability to be all of those other things. I love creative writing, it’s a passion I’ve had for a very long time. This semester, I’ve not been able to. I used to be able to work out my personal issues by writing a short scene that puts everything in a new perspective. When I’ve tried to do that this semester, nothing would come. I might be able to force out one sentence, but it was so obviously forced and so obviously horrible. I couldn’t even come up with anything to blog, and I hated that. But the other day, something just clicked. I put pen to paper, and a good six pages came from me before I even knew where it was coming from. Then, another story came into my head, and I couldn’t even sleep for all of the ideas racing about in my brain.
It’s good to be back.
PS
I’ve got two new sections on my blog. If you go to the top of the page, on the right, you will see the link to a poll, and a link to my favorite quotes. It may be well worth your time!

I know I have something to say, but I’m not sure, as I’ve not been over the last few weeks, how to word it.
