Hey guess what everybody! I received a check in the mail yesterday! For the previously stated amount. It turns out that I won 2nd plce in a poetry contest. Now I know what you are thinking. "Did you copy it off the internet?" and the answer is...not exactly. We had a project in Mr. Carter's creative writing class to write a response poem. I chose a poem by Wendell Berry and we were instructed to use the form to write a new poem in response. I guess the judges liked it because they said, "Blah blah blah something tangible...keep writing blah blah." I don't know if this is good thing. I mean money is always a good thing, but contests. I feel as though when judges judge teenage poetry they just look for something that doesn't suck and that day i sucked the least. So "great job, son. thanks for not talking about love or having your last named changed or death." I'm thinkin about blowin all the money on something big.
