I know, I know, it's been quite a while. A lot has happened, and yet, not much has happened at the same time. The more I've looked at what I'm doing, the more I wonder if I'm good enough to be writing. Some of my papers have turned out quite well, but my creative writing that I thought was pretty good didn't spark any interest in the people I showed my articles to. (Whoa, I ended my sentence in a preposition.) I'm in a really strange mood right now - I'm very reflective.

Then Mom came in and said that if I wanted a ride to the bus stop I'd have to be ready in fifteen minutes. I hurried around and grabbed my jump drive that has been corrupted ever since Jeff yoinked it out of the computer without exiting. When I got to school, my file wasn't on the jump drive and the writing center wasn't open. So I called Mom, who doesn't know how to attach files and didn't want to learn, so I told her step by step how to copy and paste the file into an email.
