Hey everyone, and anyone who reads this... Well i started this blog last year, but it sort of fell by the wayside and hasnt been touched in a long time. But now i have renewed energy for it so i am going to start posting again. What is the reason for this? i hear you say (well at least hope i hear that and not a painful groan).. Well its mainly because at Univeristy this semester i am taking a writing course, and part of the course is submitting a short work each week for review by our peers. And then i thought, well i have a blog, what a good way to get some of my work out there, and also hopefully get people commenting on it. It also means i can direct people to my work on here, rather than typing it out all the time :) lazy huh..
Anyway, on with the show. the first piece of work i have written is a self portrait, it is meant to just focus on thoughts and feelings. So here it is, enjoy, and please feel free to comment if you want to.
Sitting at my desk in the staffroom, enjoying the last few minutes of peace that are left before i have to go get the children ready for class. I only woke an hour ago, can still feel the warmth that the hot shower water brought to my body tis morning. The first coffee of the day is still warming my stomach, its rich taste still coats the inside of my mouth. Sitting here in my peaceful, tranquil zone the sound of the students laughing and playing drifts up the hallway and to my ears. The snow outside is staring at me through the window, just looking at it for too long makes me start to shiver and loose the warmth I have built up inside me. My pen flows easily over the paper, bringing me joy. The smooth ease of writing my internal thoughts uplifts me. Already I can tell what my internal soundtrack for today will be, The Whitlams "fondness makes the heart grow absent" and "No Aphrodisiac" Suddenly the harsh shreak of the bell interrupts my thoughts, kids scream. Its time to go, like a solider "Once more unto the Bridge."
