oopsies

I totally forgot to do my blog for Thursday's class. So I'll do it now.

On Thursday we got into peer groups and read our groups memoir's and made comments on each persons piece.  I liked both of my classmates memoirs, they both grabbed my attention right away. They each gave me some very good comments, and I hope that they will help me with my piece. We've been doing small activities in class that helped us prepare for writing our own memoir.

memoir ideas.

At the moment I have no idea what to write for my memoir.  You would think that this would be an easy topic to write about but for me, I honestly have no idea.  I have a couple of ideas written down.  I may write about my friends moving to Florida, or the day that I graduated High School, or maybe the big transition from leaving home, and moving to college.  These are just a couple ideas of mine, and at the moment I am leaning towards my friends moving to Florida. In class we wrote down 6-10 memoir ideas and this is one that really stands out in my mind.

In class today we talked about the memoirs that we had to read for homework. The memoirs that we read were: Alice Sehold's Lucky, and Alex Lemon's Happy. They both had very vivid descriptions almost like you were right there with them. Both memoirs were pretty good. I personally liked "Happy" better. After we discussed these memoirs, we began talking about how we're going to write our own memoirs. I don't know what I want to write my memoir on, I guess it's a good thing that we are doing various exercises to help us decide.

My life.

What is the relationship that defines you? Why?
I would say that I have a lot of relationships that would describe me, but my one go to person would have to be my Grandma (unci) Whenever something is wrong, or something good happens she is the one person I want to tell. She is the one who taught me to stand up for myself. Another go to person would have to be my cousin Holly. We are 3 months apart in age, and since i don't have a sister she is the closest thing to one.  We are the obnoxious ones in the family, laughing at random times and always making a lot of noise. We usually get yelled at, but sometimes that just makes us laugh even harder.

What unique obsessions do you have that reach your core? 
I have an obsession with the Effle tower. I have a bunch of pictures hanging in my room at home, and i also bought one to hang in my room at school.  Another thing I am obsessed with is my cat and my fishies.
 

Who am I?

JAIME LEINEKE 

Heyy.

Hello to my fellow classmates! My name is Jaime Leineke, and I was born in Grosse Pointe, Michigan.  I have two older brothers, Jason, and Jeffery.  Jeffery is only one minute older than me, so therefore we are twins! He also attends Western. My oldest brother Jason goes to Eastern (ew.) 

Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get.

I love my life & my family and friends.

I would say that they are pretty cool kids. (sometimes) 

This would the the end of my blog.
