current mp3: promise - eve 6

oh, wow, i'm such a dork. i keep saying the wrong thing. like, when i reread my entries (yes, i do reread them, that's half the point of this blog, so i can remember what i do every day) i read something and go, "what the heck? i didn't mean that word! what was i smoking?" yeah. it's ok though. i suppose i will survive. and i just need to be clearer in general, i guess. mostly you can tell what i'm trying to say, even if you don't quite know. but, yeah. actually, parsons asked us to look at our essays today, and pick five things we needed to work on. like, mine were (um, i'm not sure if i can remember them all...) clarity, ambiguity, detail (like, choosing the right detail and knowing how into detail i should go), quotes (including enough of them), and specificity (like, making sure i include specific examples and don't just generalize). (sweet! i remembered them all!) but, i do really need to improve clarity and ambiguity. in everything i do really. including this blog, probably. yeah. because i tend to ramble, and i'm not very clear at all. i just need to state my point and be done with it. but it's so bloody hard to do when you don't even know what your point IS. i mean, i know i have a point, but i don't know what it is. lol, no wonder all my entries are so random. no wonder my life is so random.
