So, I’m going to do something I haven’t done in a while….actually report on what I did this week instead of writing sappy sentiments.
Actually, this week’s been pretty rough. I’ve had a cold, and I had to go to the hospital for a check-up. I happen to be a cancer survivor, so I still have to go in and make sure I’m not suffering any side effect from the chemo. Luckily, I seem to be very healthy. It’s also been five years since I was officially cured, so I’m being transferred to long term.
On Friday, I went disc golfing with my brother. We would have gone with my boyfriend as well, but he wasn’t feeling well. It was pretty fun anyway. There’s a small course over by our high school that we went through. It’s a very short one, but it’s decent for getting me back in practice, which is kind of my goal.
Then on Saturday was the Pen Ohio competition. Pen Ohio is a writing competition, and I had a lot of fun. My school placed second overall, and I didn’t do terribly myself, which is weird since I thought most of what I wrote was junk. The basic idea of the competition is that a writer would have 40 minutes to respond to a prompt in the form of writing a short story. The main goal is to write a decent story that represents the prompt in an unusual way, but still follows the prompt. “Unusual” is my strong point. Writing decently….well, when one only has 40 minutes there’s only so much that can be done….
I had fun though. I got to spend some time with my friends, and I got to write, both of which are things I love.
