There was nothing they liked better than writing about a place they went or a memory of their younger days.<br /><br />We all do.<br /><br />I loved this piece.... only I don't remember packing any books for college except a dictionary. LOL<br /><br />When I left for college the first time, my parents said, "See you Thanksgiving." They meant it. :)H.

Your writing reminds me how easy it is to find myself, no matter where I am, when I just sit down and ... write it out.<br /><br />Thansk!Louise Gallagherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13522775693728655487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791261486111154318.post-34368598192453847832010-06-06T08:55:33.401-05:002010-06-06T08:55:33.401-05:00That's a great exercise, and I enjoyed the pee...That's a great exercise, and I enjoyed the peek into your freshman year. You've made me think about the first night of mine, when some random boy walked into my dorm room, sat down on my roommate's bed and passed out, his chewing gum falling out onto her pillow. I remember thinking, I'm not in Kansas anymore. It was then I got determined to find like minded people to hang out with. And to keep my door closed! :)<br />It's great to find your blog!Rebecca Ramseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14851717214205302476noreply@blogger.com
