First Day of Creative Writing Class: Chance of Improving My Writing Skill

Diposkan oleh Aimee Lee di 18:31


The first day of 6th semester was begun with new courses, for instance, Creative Writing. It was on Monday, 18th, 2013. The class was in F building room 304. Actually I do not really like to be in that building because it is old and the stairs are quite high. Thus, when I arrive in the class, I am exhausted. Especially for that day, it was the first time I came to that class after holidays. The class was very crowded because there were many students taking this subject and the class was not large enough. However, it was nice to be with my friends again and I was wondering how the class would be. Then the lecturer came and I had met with him in Travel Blogging Workshop on December, 12th, 2012. Because it was the first time he taught us so he asked us to make the name table in order to memorize our names. And it should be brought for the next meetings. I was excited to do it and I made the good one. 
Like usual, I always expect only to have relaxed material in the first meeting. However, for this subject I want to spend my time to learn more how to write better because I like writing, for example, short story and poetry. With this subject I want to improve my ability in writing. Thus, fortunately the lecturer soon gave the first material about how to describe something in proper way so the students were able to write a good description. Furthermore, it should be able to persuade the readers to feel the same experiences as theirs. For me it was a bit difficult to do, but I learn from the lecturer’s explanation seriously. Actually I little annoyed with the situation in the class which was very noisy and some of the students spoke among themselves without paying attention to the lecturer’s explanation. I was disturbed with it. Nevertheless, I tried to stay focus to the learning process.
In the next section, the lecturer asked us about how to make something real. I thought it was something that we believe and could be perceived with our five senses. I was glad that my opinion was similar with his explanation. Then, we were asked to write the description of some things such as favorite place, the smell that disgust me, the taste of my favorite food, the first sound heard that morning, and the texture of my shoes. Those were interesting topics that we could find in our daily life so I could describe it easily. Still, the difficult part was how to make the description which shows the readers so they could feel the same experience and understand with what I try to explain. Then, the lecturer explained how to do it so I became more understand. I think that was the fun activity.

Before the class ended, we were asked to fix our writing and then posted it in our blog. This is the first time I receive this kind of assignment so I am enthusiastic. I happen also have had my own blog already. However, I rarely post my writing since I do not have much time to do it. Thus, with these assignments I will be able to re-establish my personal blog again.
