For whatever reason, this word likes to pop up a lot in my every day life, especially when it pertains to college. My whole thought process seems to be, "well, I don't have anything pressing for tomorrow, so why do anything at all?" Yeah, probably not the best way to go about my college career. Oh well, I've done pretty well so far...
Part of my reason for todays procrastination has to do with the fact that I have not the slightest clue what to write my English paper about. I'd also love to not have to write a Biology lab report about protein synthesis. Fun right? No.
But back to English...Heres the assignment.
Reflect on how language affects you and your identity. Concentrate on one idea and delve into it critically. Consider the following questions: how much does language create the individual? when language is removed, what is lost? how much has language changed in this generation? does our current language reflect our individuality or us as a generation and why? what does it mean to think of writing as a process? what do you write, how do you write it. and why do you write in this way? think of a question that you are interested in and create an arguable thesis. OH and incorporate the reading "How to Tame a Wild Tongue" by Gloria Anzaldua into the paper.
Well damn. I have not the slightest idea. Anyone?
I always hated when I'd receive a writing assignment from a teacher that was so specific and detailed about what to write and how to present it. But now that I'm faced with a paper where I could basically take ANY idea and run with it, I wish I was given a LITTLE more direction. It would probably make the assignment a little more enjoyable. Once I figure out what exactly to write about, I'm sure i'll have fun with it.
But until then, I'm going to go do the type of writing that I enjoy the most: emails to Aaron, the opportunity to write every last detail of my day on paper and know that someone will actually enjoy reading it, and be excited to have it waiting there for them.
So until next time,

Maybe try to imagine what you would do if you were suddenly dropped in the middle of the amazon and you came up on a tribe. How would you communicate? Would you even be able to communicate with even picture,s gestures or words? Would your sex as a woman prevent you from being able to communicate at all? Is it a patriarchal tribe?
