Assignment 18- Clifton Grady

Before I finish high school, I would love to finish writing a song. As I have stated in blogs prior to this, I love music, and composing is a pastime of mine. My biggest problem is that my mind is always racing at a thousand miles a minute, and I can hardly contain my thoughts. In this roots my tendency to abandon certain ideas for what I deem to be better ones. This is problematic because I am always devising these so-called better ideas, and hence I never finish anything. And so it is my goal to actually finish something one of these days. If only I could find the time…

                                

Before I go finish college, it is my goal to attend at least one “real” party. Now I know this might strike some as a surprise, but I am not exactly the partying type. I much prefer retiring to my house with family or a friend or two and watching tv, playing video games, eating food, and having a good time in the company of a few people who are important to me. This being said, however, this recluse feels as though he should arise from his burrow at least once in college and experience a “real” party. And I don’t want to go small either—I want a party with it all. Not that I would necessarily participate in all (or most, for that matter) of what said party has to offer, but just being able to say that I experienced it is something that I wish to do.

 

And for the last item, being one thing I wish to do before I finish living, my choice is a pretty easy one to make. Since I was a little kid, I have been fascinated with the architecture, history, and culture of Japan, so naturally, it has always been a dream of mine to one day visit (and perhaps live in) Japan.
