Flash Fiction!

Today I started one of my classes I'm sure I'll enjoy most, Creative Writing. We had to read about Flash Fiction today, and then read/listen to some flash fiction stories and critique them. I have yet to finish this assignment but I had to take a "creative break". 


Reading through all of these creative writing sites and seeing all the possibilities almost makes me think of submitting some of my work. Although.. I wouldn't really call it work. Well, maybe. When I was younger I used to write on my (this is embarrassing!) Xanga, I of course used one for personal reasons, but years later I made one again and I have been using it for creative purposes. I don't think I've written in it for two years. Anyways, here's the link for it : http://annakayeveryday.xanga.com/  


I was reading through it, forgetting what I had written about, and I actually really liked it (except for a few parts, then I was like "Wow I can't believe I wrote that! I have definitely matured since then). Hopefully I'll be able to use some of it for my classes. 


I have Creative Writing, Literature Based Research, Anthropology: Appreciating Culture, and Psychology. The latter two I am not very excited for, in fact I have been pretty overwhelmed the past couple of days just trying to work up the concentration and focus to read the text book. 
I am NOT a textbook kind of girl, I do not learn well from them. Which is bad. This semester though, I plan on changing some study habits and working really hard to make good grades. As for what I'm going to do with my life, I continue to take classes and learn what information I can retain, babysit, hopefully get a daycare job, and that's what I'm doing with my life. Oh yeah, and getting MARRIED. 
I have never been a "career-minded" person, and that's okay. I respect people who are. I almost wish I were at times, because I think it'd be easier in terms of people jumping all over me for not having a solid "plan". But who HAS a solid plan? No one! I claim to follow the Lord, and do what he has planned for me. Right now I feel lead to; A. Get married. B. Continue classes even if it kills me! C. Work with children. D. Become a mother and serve the Lord through serving my family and community. 
What more could a good little girl ask for?
