This week we worked on our college essays. I wrote mine about a time in my life where I felt like I was coming into adulthood. I like my essay a lot. I wish it could be longer then 650 words though.I liked writing my college essay I'm really looking forward to college and writing the essay made me realize how little of high school we have left. Its such a bitter sweet feeling. The last three years went by sooo fast and I know senior year will be over in a blink of an eye.
We also read our memoirs I pretty much finished my memoir. I've never read a book so fast. I probably sat down to read it less then ten times and finished the book its such an easy and interesting read. It got a little confusing towards the end, he jumps back and fourth between present time and flashbacks and its hard to fallow and tell the difference between them. Its a sad book too. There's a part I read last week where he comes home from a trip with his mom and the dad had killed the little boys hamster when they were gone and it broke the kids heart. It was so sad! I can't believe that this book is a memoir, its terrible how messed up Augusten Burroughs childhood was. It made me realize how good I have it. It somewhat surprised me that someone would be so comfortable sharing these experiences with the world.
