I’m taking a poetry class at school. When I signed up I didn’t really think about if we were going to have to write and share our own poetry, or just study poetry itself. It turns out we have to do a certain amount of writing and sharing. I’ve had one class so far and we already had to share. When it was my turn I just started reading instead of prefacing it with “this is really crappy, but…”
I think the class would be easier if I didn’t know anyone in it because I wouldn’t feel like I had to impress people and I’d be more relaxed, and unfortunately I do know some people in it but oh well.
