Today was such a great day!! I went to my first class "Writing Essentials". As soon as I walked in, I spoke to the teacher and she asked me " Where've you been"?, she asked. I gave a lame excuse as she proceeded to explain the course to me. She pointed towards the tables, "Sit where ever you'd like" as I found me a seat at the first table.


 She introduced as quickly as she could as the class quickly filled. I sat and joined the class as she began our lesson. She started instructing the class. Listening to her give us let me know that I was in the right place.



      As we started our lesson, she jumped right in and began to ask questions for what was posted on the board. She asked all kind of questions and what not afraid of getting student participation. I was kinda nervous but I jumped right, reading and asking questions. She put us in groups. I was the only girl in mine and first I sat and watched the boys work.



       Being that I was on the outside seat I could hardly hear what was being said. She showed us a picture of a painting "American Gothic" by Nathan Wood. I remembered seeing this portrait before. It was a farmer and his daughter. He had a serious, straight forward look standing there holding his pitchfork.  and his daughter looked kinda disturbed. When I first saw the picture, I thought that she was his wife. Our teacher asked us about the details of our part of the picture. His glasses were thin and wiry. The picture was a classic.

I learned that this class is all about details. Our homework assignment is the due at the beginning of class. I smile just because I am back in this learning environment. This is always a plus. I am learning. As I began writing previously, I always wanted to share so many details about the experiences of a tale. This is all new to me. The new start of my forever.
