Roy Hoffman said that he obtained his first notebook journal when he was a freshman in college. My first reaction to that was that it seemed a little late. I don't have a journal, but most people get them when they are really young.
His first entry said "Wild, crazy ecstasy wants to wrench my head from my body."
Okay so I know he was excited, but it kind of seemed morbid to me. I mean he does put it in a very descriptive way, but I would not have put it in those exact words. I wonder what exactly he was doing to be thinking like that? It's just really confusing to me.
He considered college notebooks as gold mines. I thought that it was a great way to think. It makes me wish I had one cept I would probably do it on the computer since I am much more efficient on the computer. I thought it was cool how he used those entries for his work later on in life. It's where he got alot of his ideas and they were more realistic.
Clouds. He said his friends, family, and everything in college were clouds. I was confused by this. Maybe he thought since none of them were the same, or maybe because they brightened the sky? I just really want to know why he considered people so close to him, clouds.
When reading his entries he said "like a wheel, home revolves, each turn regarded differently depending on the novel or political essay I'd been most influenced by the previous semester. I really liked how he put this. It was very interesting to me to read. It had so much truth behind it.
